Sugar Plum Almond & Hazelnut Butter
Soy Free, Gluten Free, No Palm Oil, No Refined Sugar, Bee-Friendly Almonds, Fair Labor Cashews, Vegan
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.

The spices in this one are to die for, with a little fruity sweet flavor!
- LBLaura B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 minutes agoDelicious!
A really lovely blend of nuts, spices, and fruit. The dried fruit is in perfect proportion and finely chopped enough to create wonderful blend that spreads well and offers tasty surprises with every bite.
I liked the initial jar so much that I ordered 3 more to stock up while it is still available.

This one is so good that I don't spread it on anything. It needs to be enjoyed with a big spoon right out of the jar! Yum!
- VVValerie V.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoDelicious!
Delicious! Great on breakfast toast! And Gluten free! (on gluten free toast!) It is difficult to reach for a knife to spread it instead of a spoon to scoop it! It is TOO good.
- BBBarbara B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 days agoALWAYS DELICIOUS!!!!!
Big Spoon never disappoints. Crunchy, fabulous on toast, a winner every time.
