Method
- Measure the spices: Begin by measuring out each of the ingredients. Place the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice (if using) into your small mixing bowl.
- Mix well: Using a whisk or spoon, mix the spices together until they are well-combined. You want the flavors to blend smoothly and evenly.
- Store your spice: Once your spice blend is mixed, transfer it into an airtight container or spice jar. Label it with the date, so you know when you made it.
- Use or store: You can now use your homemade pumpkin pie spice immediately or store it in a cool, dark place. It will stay fresh for up to six months.
