Recipe For Pumpkin Pie Spice:Yummy

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix is a sweet-savory fall favorite. Though there is no actual pumpkin flavor inherent in the blend, this mix is what we have come to associate with this squash cultivar. This largely because of its frequent use in pumpkin pie recipes.

The absence of pumpkin flavor means that adding this spice mix to other dishes will yield a wide variety of results. Often the urge for pairing this with a pumpkin taste is so strong that pumpkin puree accompanies the spice mix, and both are added to the recipe.
