{"product_id":"spruce-syrup","title":"SPRUCE SYRUP","description":"Our spruce syrup appeals to customers seeking authentic craftsmanship, distinctive flavors, and meaningful food experiences. Its strong gifting appeal, unique story, and premium presentation make it a natural fit for gourmet food shops, specialty food markets, farm stores, cocktail and mocktail retailers, gift shops, upscale boutiques, lifestyle stores, outdoor and adventure-inspired shops, Maine-made collections, and curated gift baskets.\n\nFor many customers, discovering spruce syrup becomes part of the adventure. It is a conversation starter, a unique regional specialty, and a chance to experience the flavors of Maine. Whether enjoyed around a campfire, served at a dinner party, built into a chef's seasonal menu, or gifted to someone who appreciates truly artisanal food, each bottle offers a connection to Maine's forests and the short but celebrated season that makes this product possible.\n\nEach spring, during Maine's fleeting spruce tip season, we head into the forests of Downeast Maine to gather the tender, bright green tips that emerge for only a few short weeks each year. Our family and members of our community gather to hand-harvest tips at the peak of their flavor and aroma. Freshly harvested spruce tips are brought back to our farm kitchen, where they are slowly macerated in organic brown sugar using a traditional process that draws out their natural oils, vibrant botanical character, and surprisingly bright citrus notes.\n\nThe result is a small-batch culinary syrup unlike anything most customers have tasted before. Rich, concentrated, and never diluted, our spruce syrup is gently simmered to the perfect consistency while preserving the distinctive flavors that make spruce tips so sought after by chefs, bartenders, food enthusiasts, and adventurous home cooks. Notes of evergreen, citrus, and fresh woodland air create a flavor experience that is both familiar and surprising. \n\nOur spruce syrup is an elevated pantry ingredient designed to inspire creativity in the kitchen and around the table. Just a drizzle can transform a simple dessert into a memorable experience. Add it to cocktails and mocktails for a bright botanical effect, spoon it over ice cream, fresh fruit, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or scones, pair it with artisan cheeses and charcuterie, whisk it into vinaigrettes, us as a glaze for pork or chicken, or use it anywhere you want to bring a touch of the wild into your cooking.\n\nEvery bottle begins with a seasonal wild harvest. Because spruce tips can only be gathered during a narrow spring window, production is limited. This short harvest season, combined with our commitment to sustainable hand-harvesting practices and small-batch production, means each bottle captures a fleeting moment in the Maine landscape. It is a product rooted in place, craftsmanship, and tradition. For us, it is a celebration of the forests, farms, and communities that make Downeast Maine unique.\n\n5 fl oz","brand":"Pen \u0026 Cob Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67845031133497,"sku":"P34955S","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/7102\/4568\/files\/ba512d5d08ddf27f4d8839a08f2add9681255a3047be2363b1bdab747804f2b8.jpg?v=1793042810","url":"https:\/\/hartfordprints.com\/products\/spruce-syrup","provider":"Hartford Prints ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
