Combine cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves in a small bowl. Note: this recipe yields 4 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice. You will only need 1 tablespoon for use in Pumpkin Spice Almonds recipe below.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.

In a heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.

Over medium heat bring to a full boil.

Add the almonds.

Stir until all of the liquid cooks out, then pour almonds onto the baking sheet.

NOTE: for these no-bake almonds to turn out, ALL the liquid must evaporate. The mixture will turn from liquid to syrup to a stringy consistency, and then crystalizes onto the almonds.

Separate the almonds on the baking sheet with a fork.

Allow to cool, then enjoy!
