Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

Sometimes I wonder why I have spent so much money buying the tiny little containers of pumpkin pie spice when I usually have all the ingredients on hand to make my own.  Save yourselves some money, & possibly even a trip to the store if you have everything at home, & make your own pumpkin pie spice.  It's as easy as stirring or blending a few ingredient together.  The small McCormick jar from the store has about 3 TBSP in it & I almost always use 2 TBSP in the recipes I use so I am spending like $5-$6(+) or so each time I make a recipe.  Well, not anymore!  I am so glad I am over that stupidity & on to making my own blend.  The only difference between McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice & mine, is that I add cloves.  If you don't like cloves, then leave it out, but it really adds more flavor that you love from fall spices.

As usual, a simple post like this is usually a pre-cursor to another fantastic post.  So stay tuned for a delicious dessert you might want to trade out your pumpkin pie with this Thanksgiving.  Coming up on Sunday's post.  You won't want to miss it!
