Pumpkin pie spice
Pumpkin pie spice is an American spice mix commonly used as an ingredient in pumpkin pie since at least the 1890s.[1][2][3] Pumpkin pie spice (sometimes also referred to as Pumpkin spice) is similar to the British and Commonwealth mixed spice. It is generally a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice. It can also be used as a seasoning in general cooking.
A recipe for this combination[4] includes:
- 18 parts ground cinnamon
- 4 parts ground nutmeg
- 4 parts ground ginger
- 3 parts ground cloves
- 3 parts ground allspice
In recognition of its popularity, it is now available ready-mixed by several companies including McCormick & Company,[5] Trader Joe's[6] and Frontier Natural Products Co-op.[7] and Boston Spice
