How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Instead of buying the prepared pumpkin pie spice mix, you can easily make your own. It’s easy to do and it is both fresher and tastes better. Make a batch at the beginning of autumn and you’ll have enough to get you to the start of winter. I go through at least one, if not two, batches each year.
