I really like this combination of my favourite spices, and it is so handy to have the blend at the cottage where I want to streamline recipes. I am not a huge fan of cloves, so I made the blend as indicated, but substituted 1 tsp. of cardamom for the cloves, but may add just 1/2 tsp of cloves with the cardamom in my next batch.

I've mixed these wonderful spices together and am looking forward to using them in a gingerbread recipe I am going to try. The addition of the orange zest sets this combination over the top! Smells sensational! — May 22, 2006 ~Just an update to say that I have now used this blend with Treasured Gingerbread (Treasured Gingerbread) and it is really awesome! This is the perfect blend to do most baking. I used proportional measures to the total of spices used in my recipe for the gingerbread ~ works perfectly!

Super deluxe! So versatile, so yummy! I used to buy a similar (but not as good) commercial blend but they stopped making it. This one is just right for me and I use it constantly. Thank you.

The blend here is just wonderful and fragrant, with the orange zest making this different from a most gingerbread or pumpkin pie spice blends. I love this spice blend and have found myself using it well beyond baking. It has become one of my favorite additions to my morning oatmeal along with diced apples, pears or peaches; as a toping on baked sweet potatoes or applesauce; and, most recently, mixed with Splenda and a pinch of salt as a topping for popcorn. I'm sure there are many other uses waiting to be discovered. Thanks Paula!
