Great Lakes Tea & Spice of Glen Arbor created a special seasoning to benefit the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail (SBHT). The blend is based on a 1930’s seasoning recipe from the Peter Van Nort family and is appropriately named Sleeping Bear Heritage Blend, as $1 from each sale will support the new trail. Van Nort shared a little history of the appealing seasoning, “The blend is a recipe from my grandmother, delivered to me by my aunt who turned 100 last February. Everybody who has used the blend loves it and asks for more.”
The combination of sea salt, celery salt, garlic powder, ginger and parsley, is a great addition to potatoes, tomatoes, squash and eggs. Purchasers will enjoy the versatility of the spice blend and knowing that they are supporting the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, which will complete construction of the first 5-mile segment this summer. The SBHT blend may be purchased online at www.TEAandSPICE.com, or at the Great Lakes Tea & Spice headquarters at 6610 Western Avenue in Glen Arbor. A 2.5 ounce tin is $7.95, and the 8 ounce tin is $13.95.
