yay Vanessa! sounds like another winner.
You are so kind to share your recipes.

I'd like your opinion on spices.

I don't have any ginger.But I have pumpkin pie spice.The label says cinnamon,ginger,nutmeg,and allspice.
Would that work?
I've had this pumpkin pie spice about a year.
Do you think that it 's too old?
