NOTE
- I believe the key to the best pumpkin pie spice flavor for baking is the extra oomph of cloves. However, if you are really not a fan of cloves, reduce the amount by half. Do not omit completely though.
Instructions
- Combine the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and black pepper into a jar and shake or whisk well! Replace it for any recipe calling for pumpkin pie spice. Just make sure to only use the amount called for in the recipe. I believe cloves is a very important part to a best pumpkin spice flavor, but if you are not a big fan of cloves, just reduce the amount in half.
- I find this blend works best in baked goods. If using in a raw dessert or a beverage, reduce the cloves by half. This recipe makes 6 tablespoons to use throughout the season!
