Have you see the price of pumpkin pie spice in the grocery stores? Almost $6 at my local FredMeyers. And if you’re anything like me and like to put it on EVERYTHING this time of the year, that little container will barely last the month.
So, lets do it better and lets do it cheaper
I like to combine it all in a mason jar. My measuring spoons scoop easily out of it, and that way I can just make it once per season to save me time.
You’ll need cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg. This can easily be scaled down if you prefer a smaller amount, but I think this is perfect for seasonal cooking.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Ingredients
- 9 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp ground clove
Directions
- Into a clean mason jar or container of your choosing, measure in each of the ingredients
- Fit a lid tightly to the jar and shake until the spice blend is thoroughly combined
- LABEL you jar so you don’t forget what it is
- Sprinkle generously on yogurt, applesauce, toast with butter, or use in place of plain cinnamon in cinnamon rolls. You can also tie a cute ribbon around the jar and give this as a great gift!
To make a deliciously flavorful pumpkin pie, use 2 teaspoons of pie spice per pie.
