What makes pumpkin pie spice?

Question

I am at my mom's house making a Pumpkin Pecan Pie and she doesn't have any Pumpkin Pie spice. I was wondering what it consists of to see if I can create it. Thanks.

Answer 1

Pumpkin Pie Spice

"This will make enough for one recipe of pumpkin pie. But you could increase amounts to keep a mix on hand. These spices added to a pumpkin pie make the dish as far as I am concerned."
Original recipe yield: 2 teaspoons

PREP TIME 2 Min
READY IN 2 Min

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Store in an airtight container.

Answer 2

Well, you will have to experiment a bit....I know Pumpkin Pie is generally heavy spiced. I would start with about 2 tsp of Cinnamon 1/4 tsp Cloves 1/2 tsp Nutmeg 1/3 tsp Ginger Then mix it up and give it a taste and then adjust the spices. Remember you can add more of a spice but you can't take it out....So go lightly. Cloves are strong and you don't need much, as well as Nutmeg. We like to add extra spice to our regular Libby's Recipe for Pumpkin Pie. Allspice is another one we add extra of as well. Usually about a tsp to a double batch.

Answer 3

Allspice works in a pinch,
I use cinnimon and ground cloves- like 1 tsp per pie, and about 1/2 tsp ginger

Answer 4

2 parts ground cinnamon +
1 part ground ginger +
1 part ground nutmeg

Answer 5

Grapefruits!

Answer 6

you can use equal parts nutmeg & cinnamon. If you don't have the nutmeg just use cinnamon

Answer 7

you can substitute with allspice
