Assemble all your spices and measuring spoons, small mixing bowl, jar for storing spice mixes.  Using whole spices and grinding them yourself is an option for an even fresher flavor.

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and any other ground spices you want to add to create your own custom spice mix.

Use a fork or a small whisk to combine all the spices thoroughly. Make sure the blend is evenly mixed, with no clumps or pockets of any single spice.

Transfer your freshly made pumpkin pie spice mix to an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid works perfectly. Label the jar with the date to keep track of its freshness.
