    It’s the spices frequently used to flavor pumpkin pie. The primary spice should be cinnamon.

              For pumpkin pie, I usually not use spice. Sometimes a hint cinnamon or ginger. But no mix.
              But for a soup or a stew, I’ll probably be using a mix of cumin and ginger or simply the seasonings I usually have in the dish whether it has pumpkin or not. For roasted pumpkin, definitely cumin.

                Well, yeah those are the spices that create “pumpkin spice”

                I never use a mix either, but pumpkin spice usually contains,

                Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and/or nutmeg. One recipe I found called for mace, but I skipped it because the store didn’t have any.
