The Cold Hollow Vermont Pantry Sampler is a five-piece gourmet food gift set from Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury Center, Vermont. It brings together four spreads and one maple sugar shaker: Maple Mustard, Cider Jelly, Pure Honey, Traditional Apple Butter, and Maple Sugar Granules. Each jar holds 3.65 oz., and the maple sugar shaker holds 3 oz. It is a small, giftable way to taste Vermont's signature flavors: apples, maple, and honey.

What's in the set

Maple Mustard (3.65 oz.) A sweet and tangy mustard made with Vermont maple flavor. Spread it on a turkey or ham sandwich, brush it over pork or salmon before roasting, stir it into a vinaigrette, or serve it with pretzels and sausage.

Cider Jelly (5 oz.) A clear, amber jelly made from apple cider, with a bright apple flavor and a soft set. Put it on toast, biscuits, or English muffins, or pair it with sharp cheddar on a cheese board. It also works as a glaze for roasted vegetables or pork.

Pure Honey (5 oz.) A smooth, golden honey for tea, yogurt, oatmeal, and warm bread. Drizzle it over cheese, cornbread, or roasted carrots, or use it to sweeten dressings and marinades.

Traditional Apple Butter (3.85 oz.) A slow-cooked, spiced apple spread with a rich, smooth texture. Try it on toast, pancakes, or waffles, swirled into oatmeal, or alongside roasted pork and a turkey sandwich.

Maple Sugar Granule Shaker (3 oz.) Granulated maple sugar in a shaker for easy use. Sprinkle it over oatmeal, cider donuts, or roasted sweet potatoes, stir it into coffee or tea, or use it as a rim for cocktails.

Ways to use the set

• Pair the spreads with your favorite loaves, such as sourdough, rye, cinnamon raisin, or a warm baguette
• Add a sweet or tangy layer to sandwiches, grilled cheese, and charcuterie boards
• Build a Vermont-inspired breakfast with apple butter, honey, and maple sugar
• Use the maple mustard and cider jelly as glazes and dressings for weeknight dinners
