Spice Blends

How often do you look for a particular spice blend on the grocery store shelves? And let me guess!! You cannot find it? No luck, right?!

I decided to dedicate a post to how to make different spices, and In this post, I will share how to make your spice blends.

These spice combinations can be used in many bakings, mainly in Holiday bakings such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

See the Pumpkin Cardamom Loaf recipe: Pumpkin Cardamom Loaf.

Different Blends

• Different recipes call for different spice blends, and quite often, recipes ask for single measurements of other spices—for instance, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon clove, etc.

• Here, you get to see different blends depending on your preference. These blends can be used interchangeably depending on what flavour you are willing to have.
• All the below ingredients are ground spices.

• Look for a blend that suits your type of recipe and mix all the ingredients.
• Keep the blend in a cool and dark place. I keep mine in the fridge. If kept in a warm place and exposed to too much light, spices will lose their intensity, colour, flavour, and aroma.
