The main and most
important ingredient in jams and jellies is fruit - which is why using healthy,
quality fruit that’s perfectly ripe or a touch under-ripe is vital for a finest
jam or jelly.
At Weaver Nut, we use the old fashioned, Amish recipes and finest ingredients from the bountiful Lancaster County to create Amish Maid jams and jelly.
Pennsylvania Dutch country food culture has traditionally included fresh homemade jams, jellies and fruit spreads, and other canned goods. The Amish families of Lancaster County harvest their crops and prepare delicious foods using recipes handed down from generation to generation.
Premium quality jams
and jellies are a delicious accompaniment to just about anything, but are
mostly well known for their amazing paring with toast.
The gelatin-like, smooth consistency of jelly and its spread-ability makes it perfect for PB&J sandwiches – another big staple in almost every American family.
Jams have consistency that is similar to pureed fruit. The richness of flavor and versatility of use make them an exciting ingredient for baking, cooking and snacking.
We put some delectable ideas together to help you get creative with the use of yummy jams and jellies - from cocktails to glazes, braises, baking and more.
Take Amish Maid Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, for instance: combined flavors of tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries are a great accompaniment to ice creams, French crepes, cupcakes, and sharp cheeses. Yes, a grilled cheese sandwich with sharp cheddar and strawberry rhubarb jam is exactly what we have in mind.
Making a pound cake? Add Amish Maid Seedless Black Raspberry Jam to the frosting, and layer the top and middle of your cake – it’ll add fresh fruit taste to the sweet dough.
If you love making cobblers, how about a delicious peach and pear cobbler next time! Use Amish Maid Peach Jam to add smoothness and richness and Amish Maid Pear Halves for the chunky, fruit filling.
You can also add jams and jellies to rice porridge with almond milk, soft serve ice cream with the sprinkle of sesame seeds, and, of course, to muffins and scones.
Spring and summer call for mouth-watering ice cold drinks, so next time you make an ice tea, punch, or another beverage - try sweetening with jam, you’ll get a yummy and colorful drink everyone will love.
