WHAT DOES THIS HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE SPICE TASTE LIKE?

Pumpkin Pie Spice has a great, bold flavor, and a little can go a long way. You will taste the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg all at once. It has a slight hint of spice to it (hence the name) thanks to the ginger and nutmeg. It is best used in sweet recipes.
