Ingredients

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a pot or saucepan. Turn heat to medium and stir frequently until everything is well combined and it reaches a spreadable consistency.

Recipe Notes

Sweetener - I used local honey and pure maple syrup as the sweetener. You could use all honey or all syrup. You can also add more or less depending on how sweet you like it.

Pumpkin Pie Spice - You could substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

How to Store - This will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. It can also be frozen and should last 3-6 months. I like to freeze in an ice cube tray. Place the frozen cubes in an airtight container and put back in the freezer.  You can then defrost as little or as much as you would like.

We recommend using organic ingredients whenever possible.
