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.
