Forget apple
pie spice, pumpkin
pie spice, and all the other
similar products in your grocery shop, since they are typically half
cinnamon. Instead, in each case
use a combination of mixed spice and cinnamon.
There is no definitive recipe for mixed spice, but it is always a ground mixture of spices that include or go well with cinnamon. In addition to the ingredients listed below, cassia, mace, cardamon and caraway are sometimes included.
The quantities are all in teaspoons, and the total amount packs easily into a 1oz spice jar.
