Turn on the Tchaikovsky and grab your biggest spoon—our fall Limited Batch, Sugar Plum Almond & Hazelnut Butter, is finally here. Inspired by one of our favorite holiday treats of yore, this indulgent almond & hazelnut butter is sweet, textural, and full of holiday spirit.
Heirloom Mission almonds meet rich Oregon hazelnuts to create a smooth, indulgent base, sweetened with a touch of Organic maple syrup. Crunchy Organic cashews and dried cranberries & apricots add bursts of vibrant texture and flavor, elevated with the warming spice of Organic cinnamon & cloves, and balance from real Ugandan Bourbon vanilla beans and Jacobsen sea salt.
We love Sugar Plum spread generously on warm croissants or thick slices of brioche, swirled into steamy oats, or as a spirited treat, straight from the spoon, only here through December!
HISTORY OF SUGAR PLUMS
While you may know the name from the Clement Moore poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” sugar plums are less common in the modern era. While there’s a dispute on its origin, people have used the term “sugar plum” for centuries. As early as the 1600s, the English knew them as containing any variety of minced fruit rolled into small balls with nuts, which is the method still strikingly replicated with the addition of warm spices in modern recipes (including our own!) and referenced in the notable Christmas cookbook from Mimi Sheraton, Visions of Sugarplums. “Sugar plums” shifted meaning over the centuries, to reference anything from small candy-shelled nuts or seeds to anything small and immensely enjoyable, and in their nineteenth-century heyday, described nearly any round, bite-sized candy treat.

INGREDIENT INTEGRITY
Each ingredient we use is carefully sourced based on our strict standards for taste, sustainability, transparency, and the fair and ethical treatment of everyone involved in producing it. Most of our ingredients are Certified Organic and all are GMO-free. We work exclusively with whole, natural foods, and you won’t find gluten, soy, or anything described as a “flavor” among our ingredients. We also never use fillers or shelf stabilizers like palm oil, hydrogenated oils, or partially hydrogenated oils.
SMALL-BATCH CRAFT
Our skilled food artisans roast, toast, measure, and mix each batch by hand to exacting standards to get the pinnacle of taste and freshness from each ingredient. The small scale of our batch process allows us to craft each jar and bar with incredible precision and care you can taste. This level of focus also allows us to carefully inspect and taste each product to make sure it meets our standards before it is packaged and delivered. Our commitment to keeping production in-house ensures the highest quality standards while also creating sustainable jobs for our team.
