Sure, you can buy that jar of pre-mixed Pumpkin Pie Spice. But wouldn't you rather make your own, using high quality spices? It's super easy. Once you get the basic ratio down, you can customize it to your own liking.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Clove
a pinch of Mace
This makes 1 Tbsp of Pumpkin Pie spice. Want more? Multiply!
2 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Clove
a bigger pinch of Mace
This should get you to 4 Tbsp (or 2 ozs) of PPS.
Mix together. Store in an airtight container, preferably a glass container.
Be sure you buy good spices! You'll notice a difference between what you get a specialty purveyor and what you get at the grocery store. I prefer to get mine from All Spice, because they're local and fabulous. Chances are you have a Penzeys near you. If you don't, you can always order online! High quality ingredients make a world of difference in every dish you make. Don't skimp on the spices!
