Notes
- Always check the expiration dates on your individual spices before mixing - old spices are the number one reason homemade spice blends taste flat.
- Use Saigon cinnamon if you can find it - the flavor difference over regular cinnamon is significant and worth the upgrade.
- Freshly grated nutmeg is noticeably better than pre-ground if you have a whole nutmeg and a microplane.
- Make small batches if you only have a few fall recipes to make so the spices stay fresher longer.
- Try the optional black pepper at least once - it adds a subtle complexity that makes the blend taste more interesting than the standard five spice version.
- Store at room temperature not in the refrigerator - moisture from the fridge causes clumping and shortens the shelf life.
