What is pumpkin pie spice?

Pumpkin pie spice is a ready mix spice mixture commonly used in many traditional American fall desserts and recipes. It’s an aromatic blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Some spice companies also include all-spice in their blend. Pumpkin spice pairs really with the natural flavor of pumpkin. Did you know that pumpkins are believed to be native to North America? Native Americans used pumpkins as a staple in their diet centuries before the pilgrams landed. So, as you can see we have a long history and love for the pumpkin and all things celebrating Autumn.

Don’t have pumpkin pie spice? No problem! You can make your own. Here is the basic formula for this beloved spice mix. To yield two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, combine:

1. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
