What you’ll need to make Pumpkin Pie Spice:

Ground cinnamon: a cozy, aromatic spice for a touch of warmth in your dishes. Sweet, woody, and utterly delightful.
Ground ginger: a zesty and warming spice with a hint of citrus. It brings a bold and distinctive flavor.
Ground nutmeg: a fragrant spice with a sweet yet slightly peppery kick. Elevates both sweet and savory recipes with its signature warmth.
Ground cloves: intensely aromatic spice with a hint of sweetness and a touch of earthiness. It’s another bold flavor that you can’t skip!
Ground allspice: a symphony of flavors, combining hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. But it’s all one unique spice!

Allspice is the dried, un-ripened berry of the myrtle pepper tree, or pimento, which is native to Jamaica and much of Central America. It’s often mistaken for a blend of spices, but it is a single ingredient. Its name is derived from the flavor profile — a mixture of nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon and clove.

Optional (but you should totally try it) Black ground pepper: a kitchen staple with a pungent and versatile kick. This secret ingredient to pumpkin pie adds a unique depth of flavor and doesn’t stand out at all, I promise!
