Spice 101

Gingerbread Spice is a delightful concoction that truly encapsulates the spirit of autumn and winter baking. Each ingredient is carefully measured to create a perfect harmony that enhances not only gingerbread but also a variety of other treats like zucchini bread, banana bread, gingersnaps, and snickerdoodles.

History

The origins of gingerbread and its accompanying spice mix trace back to medieval Europe, where the aromatic and preservative qualities of spices like ginger and cloves were highly valued in food preparation. Gingerbread was initially crafted from breadcrumbs, sweetened with honey and bound with eggs, but over time, flour replaced breadcrumbs, and molasses often took the place of honey. This evolution was influenced by the spice trade routes, which made spices like nutmeg and cinnamon more accessible across Europe.

Different cultures have adopted and adapted the gingerbread concept, leading to a delightful variety of recipes. In Germany, Lebkuchen, a softer version of gingerbread, often incorporates a similar spice blend and is a staple at Christmas markets. Meanwhile, in North America, the crispier ginger snaps share the same spice profile but offer a different texture and experience. This global journey of gingerbread spice showcases its adaptability and the universal appeal of its warm, comforting flavors.

Why We Love It

Gingerbread Spice has the ability to instantly warm up the kitchen with its rich, spicy aroma and deep, comforting flavors. It’s not just for cookies; this blend adds a festive twist to pancakes and hot cocoa, making every breakfast feel like a holiday. During the holiday season, a dash of Gingerbread Spice in pumpkin pie elevates the traditional dessert into something truly special, embodying the essence of the holidays.

The More You Know

The iconic gingerbread man was originally created in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, who surprised important guests with cookie versions of themselves.
