Tips and Info For When You Don't Have All the Whole Ingredients... 

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

Ingredient Note: For the best flavours, I recommend using as many whole ingredients as you can when making this recipe. However, if you don't have whole available you can simply use pre-ground powders and reduce the amounts the recipe requires by half. For example, for 2 teaspoons of whole cloves you would use 1 teaspoon of pre-ground cloves. Reduce any others you don't have whole by half as well and stir in with any other powders when making.
