This recipe, like the majority of others I have, was handed to me by my mother. It is incredibly easy to make and tastes fantastic when added to chicken or fish as a creamy citrus addition.

Thanks for sharing this great replacement mixture for pumpkin pie spice. I only needed one tsp for my recipe, so I did 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp allspice, 1/8 tsp ginger, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg and it was perfect!
Note to self: Recipe in Seattle Times 10/20/21: 2 T ground cinnamon, 1T ground ginger, 1.5 t ground nutmeg or mace, 1.5 t ground allspice* or cloves, 1 t ground cardamom or granulated dried orange peel. *author preferred allspice
I think this recipe is great! Though, I think PENILU should have added a tsp and a half of ground cloves. It makes a difference to me. I felt it was missing something. I understand that cloves are an ingredient in allspice and thought it would be enough to cover the cloves but I like to add it.
I see several reviews bemoaning the lack of clove, however for me that was a plus. This was perfect in the Impossible Pumpkin Pie (from a cookbook, not this website) I made, and since these are all spices I normally have on hand, I see no reason now to ever buy pumpkin pie spice again.
Perfect. I added 1/4 tsp cloves as well.
This is good, I agree with the previous comments about cloves so I added 4t.
I changed the servings to 1 and it was just enough for my recipe. I like that I can use what I already had instead of buying another spice.
added ground clove
Excellent – love making my own – thank you!
This was so good. I halved the recipe and it was still 2-3 times more than I needed for two pumpkin pies. And I grated fresh nutmeg. Anyway, they were some of the best pumpkin pies I ever made – saving this one!
Needs ground cloves as well.
Nice to know I don’t have to buy pumpkin pie spice but can make it right in my own kitchen!
I made up a quick batch for hubby who was making pumpkin muffins (off this site) and we didn’t have any pumpkin spice. He was going to run up to the store and I told him I could whip up a batch using the spices in our cupboard. I QUARTERED the recipe, he used 1t of the spice, and the rest of it just fit in an empty spice container (the approx. 1oz size plastic one). Now we have it in our cupboard for making pumpkin pancakes and whatever else we find on allrecipes.com! Thanks for posting the recipe. This is our go-to site for great recipes and inspiration!
So glad I found this recipe! My homemade pumpkin spice latte’s are AH-MAZING!!!
Love this mix!! Very aromatic!
I had all the ingredients in my pantry so I made up a batch and used it for pumpkin chocolate chip bars. Tasted great and my guests loved it!
I did add ground cloves and it was very good. I used it in Dr. Oz’s “Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.
This turned out great for me. I used it for a pumpkin spice latte and a pumpkin pie shake, and they both tasted good.
Just tweaked it with the addition of cloves 🙂
Works great! I used it for not only my pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake, but apple pie as well! I like a spicier pie, so I added ground cloves to the apple and it is positively delicious! Will never pay the price for store bought again!
Very easy and cheaper than buying
