Make Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice

If you're like me you don't buy "pumpkin pie spice," you make your own from ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and keep it in a container from another spice that you used up. Or maybe you just need a little for one recipe and you don't have any and you want to know how to make it. The basic formula is:

1 part ground cloves (or allspice, if you'd rather)
1 part ground nutmeg
2 parts ground ginger
4 parts cinnamon

So to, for example, fill one of those little 0.9 oz containers, which hold about 4 T, you would use 2 T cinnamon, 1 T ginger, and 1 and 1/2 t each cloves and nutmeg.
