Mix Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Pumpkin Pie Spice is obscenely expensive.  And we are fast approaching Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin 'Everything' season so whattaya do (that was a rhetorical question)?  I'll tell you what I did:  I went to a Dollar Store and bought  2 oz. jars of each: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, All Spice & Ground Clove for $1 each. Total:  10 oz. of spices for $5. 


McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice...
1.12 oz. For $4.98

Pumpkin Pie Spice #1
1/4 cup cinnamon
1 Tbsp. allspice
1 1/2 tsp. each ginger and nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves



Pumpkin Pie Spice #2

1/4 cup ground cinnamon
1/8 cup ground ginger
1 Tablespoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon ground cloves




Pumpkin Pie Spice #3
Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
2 tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

Apple Pie Spice
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground allspice
2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)


Combine all ingredients and seal in ziploc or vacuum seal bag (or jar).

I like to  quadruple the recipe & store it in a Jelly Canning Jar.

Let me know what you think.

  1. Well, now I think you are brilliant. I put together spice mixes myself, but I've not mixed up a pumpkin spice mix and I love pumpkin spice-flavored coffee. I sure will do it now. Thanks much.
