When fall starts in most places there are obvious signs like a crispness in the air, changing or falling leaves, less hours of daylight and more. However, in the #arizona desert the most obvious would be the reemergence of Pumpkin Spice… Everything.
I can’t complain because the heartiness of the spices when eaten and the smells created by each spice just warms the air with memories and anticipation for the #holidays to follow. So you may be asking “Chef Joe, how do I make my own Pumpkin Spice Seasoning so I can adjust the flavors myself?” Not a problem, I got you:
Pumpkin Spice Seasoning:
2 Tbs Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbs Ground Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
½ tsp Ground Cloves
½ tsp Allspice
Simply combine and adjust to fit your liking. I prefer to add very small pinch of fine Sea Salt. Some Add Black Pepper and Some Omit the Allspice, but generally that is the recipe you will find around the internet.
What to do during Fall in #arizona ?
Tons of Pumpkin Patches and Mazes from Schnepf Farms in #queencreek to Mortimer Farms In #dewey – probably one of my favorite farms to visit when I need to escape Phoenix – only 1 ½ hours North.
VisitPhoenix.com has many things listed. Here are a few of my favorites.
– hint Thursdays are Wrist Band Ride Days.
Now back to the Spice mixture that I know you carefully hand crafted. Let’s make a Pumpkin Loaf.
Ingredients:
1 15 oz Can Pure Pumkin Puree
1 Cup Canola, Vegetable or Coconut Oil – I add in 2 extra Tbs
3 Cup Sugar
4 Ea Eggs
2/3 Cup Cold Water
3 ½ Cup Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 ½ tsp Salt
3 ½ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1) Preheat oven to 325°.
2) In a medium bowl mix sugar, pumpkin, oil, eggs and water.
3) Sift together your Dry Ingredients and once sifted add while mixer is on low. Or you can gently fold everything together.
4) Add in Vanilla Extract and do final mixing. Batter should be relatively smooth with little to no lumps.
5) Pour into two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. The batter should fill the pan a little bit over 1/2 full.
6) Bake 40 minutes then rotate to different rack and rotate the pan itself for even baking.
7) Bake for another 25 minutes and Toothpick test it for doneness (in the center not the edges).
8) Once done, remove from pans onto wire rack and let completely cool before wrapping or cutting.
9) Enjoy!
