Pumpkin pie spice is typically made with freshly ground whole cinnamon, allspice, black peppercorns and star anise. Sprinkle over squash and roast, stir into yogurt or ice cream or brew into your morning coffee or add to cookies, breads, cakes, pies or other baked goods.

Have any of the below spices on hand?

Allspice, black peppercorns, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, mace

Best Bet: Cloves & Cinnamon

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp black peppercorns

If you have cloves and cinnamon on hand, 1 part cinnamon for 1/3 part cloves is about the right mix.  In a pinch, freshly ground cinnamon will get the job done, but won't quite give the same depth of flavor.
