Pumpkin Spice

For your seasonal needs, a pumpkin spice mix based on my pumpkin pie recipes. Use about 1 tablespoon in a pie.

Pumpkin spice lattes are more than just pie spice in a coffee; see, e.g., Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.

Makes 1 jar.

Ingredients

• 2 T. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. ginger
• ½ T. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. clove
• 1 tsp. allspice
• dash black pepper

Directions

Mix.

Variants

Most recipes are much heavier on the cinnamon. Some are unusually light on nutmeg.

You can replace nutmeg with mace; historically both were used but cinnamon was omitted.
