There’s nothing like fall to bring out flavors that feel like home. Among our pantry favorites, one ingredient stands out as a star: Mulling Spices. But don’t think for a second that the rest of our lineup plays second fiddle — whether you love sweet spreads, spicy jams, or rich butters, Raven’s Nest has you covered. These fall recipes will show you how to make your season richer, cozier, and tastier.
Why Mulling Spices Are a Bestseller
If fall had a signature smell, it would be the blend you get when our Mulling Spices hit a pot of simmering apple juice, wine, or mulled juice. This award-winning mix delivers instant warmth and aroma, no long steeping with whole sticks or cloves required.
With just a bit of this ground spice blend, your drink is infused with notes of citrus, cinnamon, and clove — perfect for sipping by a fire pit or bringing in guests.
Spread the Warmth: Butter & Jam
Apple Butter & Pumpkin Butter
These two spreads are fall in a jar. Smooth, richly spiced, and ideal for morning toast, biscuits, or stirred into oatmeal. Our pumpkin butter gives that nutmeg, pumpkin-pie kind of flavor, while apple butter brings deep apple sweetness with spice undertones. Try them swirled together for a taste that’s half apple, half pumpkin, and fully autumn.
Raspberry Jalapeño Jam
Sweet + heat = magic. Our Raspberry Jalapeño Jam adds that surprising punch to your fall recipes. Spread it on warm cornbread, serve it alongside soft cheeses, or use as a glaze for roasted pork. It’s a flavor twist your guests won’t expect — but will definitely want more of.
If you like the sound of that flavor twist, take a look at our other sweet with a little heat jams here.
