Last night, I found myself making a pumpkin pie and realized I was out of cinnamon AND nutmeg and had no premixed pumkin pie spice. Not wanting to run to the store, I rummaged through my spice cabinet in search of alternatives. Chinese 5 spice blend is: Star Anise, Fennel, Cinnamon, Cloves and Pepper. It gave an interesting different flavor to the pie.
