You're creating a custom gingerbread spice blend from whole spices that you'll crush finely in a mortar and pestle or spice mill — the key is getting them as fine as possible. This quick 12-minute project gives you a fresh, personalized mix that stores beautifully in a glass jar and works wonderfully in baked goods, roasted meats, or even plum sauce.

About this recipe

Skip the store-bought gingerbread spice blends and make your own instead — it's well worth the effort. This way you know exactly what's going into it, you can tailor it to your own taste, make just as much as you need, and avoid having half-used jars cluttering your cupboard. Try the classic blend, or liven it up with a pinch of cardamom, coriander, fennel, lemon zest or orange zest.
