Autumn is here and it's the best time for pumpkin recipes. So what is it that gives pumpkin treats their characteristic taste?
Although pumpkin itself adds a subtle sweetness and helps maintain a soft texture, it's the spices that make pumpkin treats so irresistible. I like making my own blend so I can choose the spices and flavours I like.
Below are some of my best recipes that use this blend. Once you make your own pumpkin spice mix, give these recipes a try and let me know!
