It’s “Pumpkin Week” here at O-P, time
to gear up for the fall season that greets us at week’s end.
The first thing you’re going to need in order
to make the great recipes this week is pumpkin pie spice. No, don’t buy any; you’ll only succeed in getting a jar that will undoubtedly end up in the cupboard for the rest of the year losing
flavor. Instead, make your own. It’s easy, and you probably have all of the ingredients
on hand. The photo above provides the proportions, the written recipe is below. This
makes about 2 tablespoons. You can
double it, triple it, or even cut it in half, depending upon your projected
use.
Pumpkin
Pie Spice
(Makes about 2
tablespoons)
1 tablespoon ground
cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground
ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground
cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground
allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly
grated nutmeg
Smidgen of cardamom*
Stir together and
store in an airtight jar.
*Yes, there is a smidgen. It’s 1/32 of a teaspoon. Mr. O-P bought me a great set of measuring spoons
that contains a smidgen, a dash, and a pinch.
I love them!

This looks easy enough, thanks for the tutorial!
Love seeing this recipe - I do buy those little tiny jars of pumpkin pie spice to use during the holidays only to find them in my pantry 6 months later with no smell. :) And I've added those measuring cups and spoons to my Amazon wishlist!
