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.
