Pumpkin Pie Spice

This time of year, lots of recipes call for Pumpkin Pie Spice. It seems like a huge waste of money (and space) to buy a spice mix like this that you will not use much of, and that contains just a mixture of what you already have in your cabinet.  Here is the blend that I use. I typically make a batch of this whenever pumpkin first starts arriving in my brain, and use it through the season.

4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

Mix together and store in a sealed container.

Use it in these recipes:

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pumpkin Pancakes
