I hate to tell you this, but it’s time to toss that old, dusty jar of stale pumpkin pie spice in your cabinet. Yes, spices do go bad and lose their full essence. It’s not going to kill you, but it’s not going to add much flavor either. You’ll miss out on that extra zip you are adding to your bakes. My ideal blend of pumpkin pie spice is made for so much more than just pie. Cinnamon Rolls, cupcakes, coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, you name it!
