If I had to attribute a scent to Autumn, it would almost certainly be cinnamon spice. Wafting through kitchens with it’s warm, comforting aroma. It’s bold, brazen and versatile - elevating everything from soups and savoury rolls to sweet buns, pumpkin pie and all your classic Halloween home baked treats.

Using just 5 spices (most likely lurking in your cupboard at home) it takes seconds to come together and it can be stored in jars to pull from as and when you need. I add a dash of pink Himalayan salt to mine which offsets the intense spice flavour and brings a bit of balance to the fore when baking.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1.5 tbsp nutmeg

• 3 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 1 heaped tbsp ground ginger

• 1 tbsp all spice

• 1 tbsp cloves (ground using a pestle and mortar)

• 1 heaped tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

METHOD:

1. Grind the cloves and pink salt using a pestle and mortar, then add all of the spices to a bowl.

2. Whisk everything together until fully combined and store in an airtight jar until ready to use.
