Yes, you can make your own pumpkin pie spice. According to cdkitchen.com, the recipe makes a half cup.
1/4 cup cinnamon
1 Tbs. allspice
1 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
Mix all together. Store in a jar with tight fitting lid.

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.

I make mine using four parts cinnamon, two parts nutmeg, two parts allspice, one part ginger and 1/2 part cloves and 1/2 part mace. All ground, of course. I usually use the same mixture for pumpkin pies and apple pies, sometimes I use half spice mixture and half cinnamon for apple pie.

This recipe uses cubes of raw pumpkin rather than canned pumpkin. Winter squash may also be used.

Use only Libby's Pumpkin, it is the only one out there that is real pumpkin.
I use: brown sugar, a little molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla.
Some people put in cloves, but this is only good if one were to put lots of whipped cream on it.

i dont know if you are talking about making an entire pie...but if you don't want to make it from scratch, you can buy cans of pumpkin filling mix at the grocery store and it will tell you what else you need. its really easy and good too!
