Would you believe me if I told you that most of the “pumpkin” flavor you associate with pumpkin spice anything comes from the spice, not the pumpkin? It’s true. Pumpkin on its own has a very mild light and dare I say plan flavor to it. It begs for some warming spices to meet their true potential as the flavors we all know and love.
