Collapse ▲Fall is the season of changing leaves, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Fairs, Festivals and for many the arrival of Pumpkin Pie Spice. Pumpkin pie spice, or the combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice, brings back warm, fuzzy fall feelings.
This combination of warm spices was not just invented, they were first used in the 1600’s by the settlers to aid in the preservation of foods. Not until the McCormick spice company actually introduced the first commercial pumpkin pie spice blend in 1934, many families have had it in their spice cabinet since way before the rise it’s rise in stardom. While Starbucks may have opened the floodgates in 2003, but the appearance of cookies, breads, drinks, and candles are surely a good sign that pumpkin spice is here to stay.
