DASH OF DACY PUMPKIN SPICE BLEND. . . HOMEMADE

Pumpkin season feels like home to many of us.  Warm kitchens, sweet spice in the air and comfort dishes that remind us how food connects us. Y’all know I make my living creating gourmet spice blends, but sometimes sharing is part of the legacy too.  I don’t usually give blends away, but this one felt right to share. Consider it a little thank you for every table you’ve invited me into over the years. 

This blend is layered with intention: cinnamon brings the hug and comfort, ginger adds brightness and a kick, nutmeg for depth, clove for boldness, allspice for harmony, black pepper for a surprising wake up lift and mace for balance + that old school depth.

It’s the same care I put into every blend I sell, but this one is yours to make at home. Here’s my gift to you, my Pumpkin Spice recipe:
