DIY Pampered Chef ~ Cinnamon Plus

I love to mix up my own spice and herb blends.
This Cinnamon Blend is a copycat of the
Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus.
 I had all the ingredients.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, 
and dried orange peel.
 I made my own dried orange peel using
 a microplane grater and drying in a low oven.
I used the toaster oven and it's small tray.
It's so easy and 1 orange gives me enough
(just under 1T) for this recipe. Since it's
not been sitting in a jar it has a true
orange fragrance and taste. 
 Crush with the side of a knife.
 Mix it together and store in a labeled spice jar.
Use in any recipe that calls for cinnamon.
 Don't forget to make your own cinnamon sugar. 
Put some in a cute shaker and keep it by the 
toaster for buttery cinnamon toast.


CINNAMON PLUS
6 T cinnamon
1 T allspice
1 T dried orange peel
2 t nutmeg
1 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground ginger
Combine with a whisk and store in
a jar. Use in any recipes that call
for cinnamon or for cinnamon sugar

CINNAMON SUGAR PLUS
1/2 C sugar
2 T cinnamon plus blend
Combine in a shake top jar
and keep handy by the toaster.

DIY ORANGE PEEL
Wash and dry 1 orange. Use a microplane 
to remove the outer peel.Spread out and
dry in a 200º oven for 25 minutes.
Press with fingers or the bottom
 of a glass to pulverize.

 Enjoy!

  4. Rita, thanks much for the Cinnamon Plus recipe, especially since it looks like Pampered Chef may have discontinued it.
    I love the tiles in the picture. Where did you get them?

    1. The tiles are actually a tray leaning behind my cook top. You can see it better on my MAY DAYS blog here; http://ritamay-days.blogspot.com/2016/04/using-my-longaberger-baskets.html. Also on more current post on this blog. Thanks for visiting.
