Family traditions are an integral part of our origin story at Stonewall Kitchen. Now, thirty-two years since it all began, we cherish how far our family of brands has come. Nine brands have since joined the Stonewall Kitchen family and along with them have come years of individual brand traditions. It’s wonderful hearing from guests how our products have weaved their way into family recipes and how certain products remind them of holidays spent with loved ones.
Growing up in New England, Stonewall Kitchen was always a fun destination stop for me and my parents. My mom loved coming around her birthday, which was right after Thanksgiving, to pick out gifts for the holidays and to see the campus beautifully decorated for the season. Reminiscing on these memories had me thinking of my own family traditions, specifically of my family vacations to Mount Desert Island in Maine. I thought, since I recently joined the Stonewall Kitchen family, it would be fun to introduce some of my favorite Stonewall Kitchen products to my favorite family tradition.
My family has been summering in the charming town of Northeast Harbor since before I was born. My grandparents met there when they were teenagers, and since then, it’s remained an incredibly special place for all of us to come together. I love getting to sit on the porch in the morning with my grandmother and listen to her favorite memories of Northeast. Enjoying Wild Maine Blueberry Jam (her favorite product!) while sitting in my favorite place in Maine, it doesn’t get much better than that.
Wild Maine Blueberry Jam
Bursting with flavor, these tiny, hand-raked Maine blueberries create the ideal wild blueberry jam to spread on toast, pancakes and PB&Js.
Coming back to the same place year after year may seem repetitive to some, but there is something special about returning somewhere that holds so many memories. There are also countless opportunities to see the same views with new perspective. Looking around from the tops of the mountains I’ve hiked many times before, traveling across the same waters, exploring the same islands; I never tire of getting to appreciate these beautiful sights.
Scallion Aioli
We’re big fans of the subtle punch scallions bring to our creamy aioli sauce, which you’ll love adding to roasted potato salads, fried chicken sandwiches and deluxe breakfast burritos.
That’s also what makes Stonewall Kitchen unique – guests who have been shopping with us since the beginning choose to keep coming back for the comfort of knowing they are getting the same specialty products but with opportunities to try something new each time. So, we hope next time you gather with family and create a dish with one of our products, you share that memory with us. We love hearing of how our family of brands has become part of yours.
Delicious food and family traditions, isn’t that the way life should be?
Malted Milk Chocolate Sauce
Rich milk chocolate melds with the toasted, caramel-like flavor of malted milk powder to deliver the perfect dose of nostalgia in every bite.
