    For the ultimate flavor use within 6 months.  Use in my Christmas Cakes ,  Christmas puddings, or my Homemade Mincemeat .

Recipe Notes
  • Use a substitute if needed: If you don’t want to make your own, pumpkin spice blends work well as a substitute.
  • No Strict Ratios of Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste.
  • Make in small batches: Mixing smaller amounts keeps your spice fresher and more flavorful longer.
  • Seal for ultimate freshness: Vacuum-sealing your blend helps preserve its aroma and potency.
  • Try related homemade ingredients: You can also make your own Candied Mixed Peel and Glacé Cherries for baking.
  • Store properly: Keep in an airtight container or a sealed jar, away from heat and sunlight.
