It's so much cheaper to mix up your own pumpkin pie spice than to
purchase it! Plus you can customize the ratio of spices in the mix to
your own preferences. I've only bought pumpkin pie spice once in my
life and it was when I was about 16 and very new to cooking. It sat in
the pantry for a long time because I didn't like the flavor, it had too
much cloves or nutmeg or something. This version has lots of allspice
because I adore allspice!
Note that you can
use this in pretty much any recipe that calls for cinnamon. So far I
have used it in pancakes, pumpkin bread, apple pie jam, apple dump cake,
and several other things. The one thing I haven't used it for is
pumpkin pie, but we aren't big pumpkin pie fans in this house! Also,
the blend stores very well. Just put it in a glass jar and keep it in a
cabinet.
