"Hi, my name is Stephanie Barnett and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you how to make a pumpkin pie. Now we are going to prepare the filling for the pie. The first step is preparing the spice sugar mix. This is a half cup measuring cup. We need three quarters cup sugar. So I'm going to use a full cup and half of a cup of this, three quarters cup of sugar. Then we are going to measure out the salt. There is half of teaspoon of salt, you want to make it pretty leveled, there is one teaspoon of cinnamon. Again, as leveled as you can. Half of teaspoon of ground ginger and a quarter teaspoon of ground cloves. You're going to take this mixture and whisk it together. Make sure that all the lumps are out of the spices and the sugar. If you have to whisk it for a while, that's fine."
