The Sap is Running 🍁
Hey Friends,
In Vermont, there’s a very specific moment every year when winter loosens its grip just a little. The days get warmer, the nights stay cold, and suddenly the maple sap starts running.
It's sugaring season.
All over the state, sugarhouses are firing up evaporators, steam is rolling out the roof vents, and people who know what they’re doing are turning tree sap into one of the greatest foods on earth.
When we needed maple for our Vermont Maple Caramelwe turned to Runamok Maple.
Runamok is a family-owned Vermont company that’s become famous for their beautiful, ridiculously good maple syrup. They started with a simple idea: make the best organic maple syrup possible and treat it like the incredible ingredient it is.
That’s the maple syrup we cook into our Vermont Maple Caramel.
When we make a batch, it starts with goat’s milk caramel slowly bubbling away in our kettles. Then we blend in Runamok’s Vermont maple syrup, which adds that deep, woodsy sweetness that only real maple has.
The result is caramel that tastes like Vermont in March.
Warm, rich, and the exact thing you want drizzled over:
• pancakes or waffles
• vanilla ice cream
• roasted apples
• yogurt or oatmeal
• literally a spoon
If sugaring season has you dreaming about maple, this is your moment.
→ Grab a jar of Vermont Maple Caramel
Or better yet, grab two. Maple season doesn’t last forever, and neither do these jars once they’re open.
