I checked out Pumpkin Pie Spice II an saw that there were cloves in that one and the color wasn't quite right (didn't taste the cloves that this recipe required as in the store bought Pumpkin Pie Spice I have. I then went to Pumpkin Pie Spice I - perfect match and what my family is accustomed too. Great Recipe and Thanks! I buy my spices in bulk to save some $$$ especially in this economy situation where the price of flour has skyrocketed and looking to cut costs wherever possible especially that my hobby is baking. Love this Website :-)
What a great idea! The only drawback is it lacks cloves so I added them.
I check on the back of a bottle of allspice at the store and it was made up of all the same spices as this recipe. Since i don't use pumpkin pie spice often, this really saves money.
Thank you for posting the recipe..
I thought this was a great combination- used it in Pumpkin Cranberry bread with great results. Allspice is slightly similar to ground cloves anyway (a bit more mild- which I like) so I didn't miss the cloves at all. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store!
I used this recipe for pumpkin pie (!) and it was wonderful. (I've never really seen the point of buying something as specific as "pumpkin pie spice" when you probably have all of the ingredients to make it!)
This isn't bad but I prefer Pumpkin Pie Spice II because it feels like cloves are missing. I'm a little confused by the comment that said she "checked the ingredients of allspice at the store." I suspect that she meant to say "I checked the ingredients of pumpkin pie spice " instead. Allspice is NOT a spice mixture it is a spice all on its own (it comes from a Jamaican tree).
Excellent! I love these homemade spice mixes. So so good! I use this one in many many things. This morning I used it in my homemade Raisin Oatmeal Mix from this site.
I tried but couldn't find pumpkin pie spice at my local supermarket it seems to be hard to find here in England. Was very pleased to find this. Thanks
