- Step 1
Place the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves in a sieve set over a small bowl; sift to make sure you don’t have any clumps of spice. Mix well, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in a dark, cool space. It will keep for as long as the spices stay fresh.

Cooking Notes
Jules
A neighbor of mine makes a similar spice blend and swears by adding cardamom to the mix as well. She turns out the best pumpkin muffins and pies with the blend.

This was very nice used in applesauce. The cloves become a bit too much if this is added to food with a heavy hand; likewise, I think, if you are grinding your own cloves you may want to use a little less so they don’t dominate. But as written and used with moderation, it’s very good. Cardamom in equal proportion to the allspice is a good addition as well.
Julia in Loveland
For those of us sensitive to cloves, reduce to one half of even a quarter. Add a similar amount of allspice instead.
Anne
I'd reduce the cloves at least by half. Their taste is very strong.
Michelle
I make something similar to this, but I add a wee bit of turmeric and pepper for the health benefit -- turmeric for the anti-inflammation benefit and pepper to help the turmeric be absorbed. For instance, in this mix, I'd probably put between 1/8 and 1/4 tsp of turmeric and 1/16 - 1/8 pepper. But ultimately it's all about your tastebuds. I will add this to warmed soy milk along with a little maple syrup and have it as a yummy before bed drink.

Ditto on the cardamom.
Xandra
I like to add pumpkin spice blend to my morning pour-over for a fall twist. Good blend for it, but perhaps slightly strong on ginger. Possibly just because my Diaspora Co ginger is more potent than the regular stuff from the store! Next time I'll let the cinnamon lead.
Easy! Chewy and Crispy.
Add cardamon
Alexandra
Somone below mentioned adding cardamom to the mix, I highly recommend it especially if you have someone that dislikes cinnamon and cloves. Scandinavian's use a lot of cardamom in their baking and it is a wonderful warming spice.

No allspice, never used it.

Gustus Vitae sells pumpkin spice - handmade quality. On line or via Amazon.
Heidi
What can this be added to and how much? Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, I assume, but I remove the spices from my regular recipe and add this blend instead? How much to a stew? Anything else? My coffee in the fall? I’m curious about this and would love some guidance from more experienced cooks and bakers. Thanks!

Thanks for this, Naz. I’m not sure why I never of doing this before.
