Pumpkin spice food gifts from small makers

Pumpkin spice is better in a jar than a latte. Blake Hill's pumpkin maple butter is pumpkin, Vermont maple syrup and cider vinegar. Pearl Honey Spreads folds pumpkin spice into creamed honey. Sweet Addison's bakes 4-ounce pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in Dallas. Most of these are seasonal runs, so they come and go.

Good to know

What is pumpkin butter?

A slow-cooked spread of pumpkin, usually sweetened and spiced, used like apple butter on toast, biscuits or a cheese board. Blake Hill's version uses Vermont maple syrup.

Are these limited edition?

Several are seasonal, including the pumpkin maple butter and the pumpkin spice brownie mix. The page only shows what is in stock today.

Will it get there before Thanksgiving?

Each maker ships on its own schedule, and the product page says what that maker can do. Shelf-stable items are the safest bet close to the day. If timing matters, order early so it arrives a few days ahead.

How does shipping work?

Each maker packs and ships its own items, so shipping is each maker's own rate, shown at checkout, usually $8 to $15 for one item. Anything else from the same maker goes in the same box. Perishables like cheese go out Monday to Wednesday in insulated packaging.
