#cooking people! I am looking at a recipe for how to make pumpkin pie spice mix without allspice, and it proposes that the only flavor note allspice contributes that isn't already covered by the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove is *pepper*, so it basically just subs a small amount of pepper for a larger amount of allspice. The recipe winds up being in the proportions of Ci18:G4:N4:Cl2:P1.I'm not sufficiently familiar with allspice or pumpkin pie spice to judge for myself: does this sound reasonable to you?
