Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Triple Treat White Baking Pumpkin

I've wrote about this guy before, but now I've actually gotten a chance to bake one.  This is the first true white pie pumpkin.  Yumm..... It has a very high sugar content, yet is great with just some butter, salt & pepper.  But, for classic pumpkin spice (use in coffee, ice cream, squash, etc)

Yield:  !/3 cup  Use to taste....

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
opt:  3 tablespoons brown sugar

Bake a pumpkin cut in 1/2, seeds removed,  cut side down.  Time varies by size...just pretend its a baked potato.   It should be easy to mash....taste test w/ a fork (youm job!) season with above and maybe some butter & serve...Or...use as directed in any canned (yuck!) pumpkin recipe.  Keep baking   .....Love  Straw Beary
