Essential Holiday Spice Set

This set suits anyone who cooks for a holiday table and already has the basics. It’s a good gift for a family member who’s hosting, a coworker who makes the stuffing every year, or a friend who’s starting to cook more seriously. Because it’s four herbs and garlic, it works as a stocking stuffer for a cook who wants to try new holiday flavors. Pair it with a wooden spoon or a holiday cookbook.

Rub the turkey with butter, then season it with Rubbed Sage and Premium French Thyme. Stir Roasted Granulated Garlic and cracked rosemary into stuffing, or add them to mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. For gravy, add a pinch of Rubbed Sage and Roasted Granulated Garlic to the pan drippings as they simmer. Start with small amounts, taste as you go, and adjust before serving.

Thanksgiving flavor comes from a few herbs, and this set covers them. Rubbed sage is the signature note in stuffing and dressing. Premium French thyme is a delicate herb that pairs with poultry, pan sauces, and root vegetables. Cracked rosemary holds up to long roasting times, and roasted granulated garlic brings sweet, toasty depth without the bite of raw garlic. Together, they give your holiday cooking the flavor people remember.

Can I substitute Roasted Granulated Garlic for fresh garlic?
It isn’t a one-to-one swap. Roasted granulated garlic is dry and mellow, while fresh garlic is sharp and wet. Use about 1 teaspoon of the roasted garlic for each clove of fresh garlic called for, and add it to dry rubs, mashed potatoes, or stuffing. Use fresh garlic when a recipe calls for a sharp bite.
How much Rubbed Sage should I use in stuffing?
Start with 1 to 2 teaspoons for a standard pan of stuffing, then taste and add more. Rubbed sage is potent, so it’s easy to overdo it.
Can I use Cracked Rosemary in place of fresh rosemary?
Yes. Cracked rosemary is dried and has a more concentrated flavor, so use about one-third the amount you’d use of fresh. Add it early in cooking so it can soften.
Which herbs from this set work on a brined turkey?
Rubbed Sage and Premium French Thyme pair well with a brined bird. Rub them over the skin with butter before roasting. Use Cracked Rosemary sparingly, since its flavor is strong and can overwhelm a delicate skin.
Can I use this set for gravy?
Yes. Add a pinch of Rubbed Sage and Roasted Granulated Garlic to the pan drippings as they simmer, then taste before adding salt. Drippings from a brined turkey are already salty.
