The “freshness” date of my pumpkin spice was something I wanted to check. Let’s say it hasn’t been fresh for quite some while. Swear that I bought this spice yesterday. But that’s impossible unless it was 2010. Instead of buying a whole new bottle of spice that would be stored in my pantry for the next three years, I decided to make my own homemade pumpkin pie spice.
This recipe can make homemade pumpkin pie spice whenever you want it.

IS PUMPKIN PETE SPICE EXPIRABLE?
The potency of this spice mixture will gradually decrease over time, just like all dried herbs. This homemade pumpkin pie spice will only be as fresh as the oldest ingredient. Make sure you have all of your spices in good condition before making this mixture. The homemade pumpkin pie spice should be kept in an airtight container for approximately one year after it is mixed.
