When I was living overseas, there was no such thing as pumpkin pie spice. Pumpkin just isn’t put in pie form in other parts of the world. But I was quite happy to learn that it was super easy to make your own pumpkin pie spice. I’ve never used the ready mixed version, I’ve always made my own and word on the street is that it’s pretty good.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
Combine all the spices in a small container with a lid. Shake together to combine. Shake it some more. Store in small jar or spice container.
I’ve always been curious as to what is in pumpkin spice…now I know! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this, I love posts that give good spice mixes.
I am also living overseas in Hong Kong and you are correct it is really difficult trying to find pumpkin pie spice. Thanks for recipe, just in time for those pumpkin pies.
Oh I forgot to ask, how did you add your plugin “rate this” for each of your recipes on wordpress? Great idea.
Excellent question. I have no clue! I want to say it’s part of my theme, but don’t hold me to that. Sorry I can’t give you a real answer!
I was finally able to figure out how to add a rate it to my recipes on wordpress- dilemna solved. Take Care
