Expert Tips

Pumpkin pie spice is a staple spice in many fall recipes. To make your own, mix 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves. Store mixture in a clean small jar.
You can freeze leftover pumpkin in an airtight container for your favourite recipes. Just thaw and stir before adding.
