thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means it is prime time for pumpkin recipes. so many pumpkin recipes call for pumpkin pie spice, however, there really is no point to buying a separate container of pumpkin pie spice at the grocery store when you can simply mix your own to have on hand in your kitchen whenever you like. every time i make a recipe with pumpkin, i always use the same five spices to jazz up the flavor of the pumpkin: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice . . . and these are the five spices that make up pumpkin pie spice.
you can use this pumpkin pie spice in pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, and pumpkin pie, among so many other things. so go ahead and mix up some pumpkin pie spice for your next fall baking project. by the way, if you mix up a few batches of this spice and put it in cute containers, it would make great fall gifts for the bakers in your life too!

Great idea to pass on to everyone.
It is so easy to mix these spices together and you know it is fresh. Have you priced out a small container of pumpkin pie spice, it is over $5. Great savings to do-it-yourself. And by the way, cute jar and label.
Can't wait to make the pies tonight!
