Allergen & Small-Batch Craft Disclaimer
Every confection documented by Brierwood Orchard Sweets is crafted strictly as a traditional culinary indulgence and nostalgic pantry treat. Please review our workshop allergen practices and botanical ingredient notes below.
1. Shared Confectionery Kitchen Disclosure
While our clear orchard fruit drops and steeped botanical hard candies are formulated with cane sugar, glucose syrup, spring water, fruit concentrates, wildflower honey, and spice extracts, our Hood River confectionery workshop periodically prepares seasonal brittles and pan-roasted confections on shared marble tables. Equipment may come into contact with tree nuts (hazelnuts, pecans, almonds), dairy butter, and soy lecithin.
2. Culinary Confectionery Purpose Only
Historically, American apothecary counters stocked flavors such as horehound, clove, wildflower honey, and sassafras in glass parlor jars. At Brierwood Orchard Sweets, all botanical drops and pastilles are crafted exclusively for culinary enjoyment and nostalgic flavor appreciation—never as throat remedies, dietary supplements, or wellness treatments.
3. Hand-Molded Variations & Hard Candy Care
Because every 18-pound copper kettle pour is hand-kneaded on marble and rolled through vintage brass dies, slight variations in amber hue, sugar sanding density, and pillow shape are natural hallmarks of genuine handwork. Solid hard candies pose a choking hazard for very young children; please serve mindfully at family gatherings.
