HOW LONG CAN YOU STORE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE
Most online sources say you can store pumpkin pie spice for 2-3 years. I find the potency of the spices wears off and is not as effective in recipes for that true pumpkin pie flavor you want.
My recommendation is to store for just one year and use all the pumpkin recipes below each holiday season so you finish it off before the season ends.
