You may be surprised to discover that pumpkin spice doesn’t include any pumpkin at all (this fact just shocked a friend of mine to her core). It’s simply the spice that makes pumpkin taste like pumpkin pie. That wonderful Autumn mix of spices we all associate with Halloween and Thanksgiving. If you can’t find pre-mixed pumpkin spice in your food store, simply combine 4 tsp. of ground cinnamon, 2 tsp. ground ginger, 1 tsp. ground cloves and ½ tsp. ground nutmeg.
