American Heritage: Made by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, with free shipping on every order and returns accepted, no questions asked. Amish apple butter made the old way is a hard thing to find anymore. Lena Mast still makes hers in her own kitchen, from apples picked at the peak of the season, cooked down slow with real sugar and cinnamon until the whole batch turns deep and spreadable. Put it on morning toast, warm biscuits, or a bowl of oatmeal, and you will understand why most of the reviews of these jars mention a parent or a grandparent. One customer told us it brings back many memories of her father. Another wrote that it tastes so much like the apple butter her mom made when she was a child, right down to just the right amount of cinnamon. We would rather answer the common questions up front. This apple butter is made with real sugar, not corn syrup, and there is a fair amount of it, so there is no sugar free version. It has real cinnamon in it, which matters if there is an allergy at your table. And it only comes in 10 ounce jars, two or four to a set, because Lena cooks it in small batches in pots on her stove, so there is no bigger jar to offer. If you have been looking for homemade apple butter for sale that is actually made in somebody's kitchen, this is that jar. One reviewer put it plainly: "Best apple butter we ever had. Easy to tell it is made with care. It's now a staple of our house." Another wrote, "My grandmother used to make apple butter spread. I've missed it over the years and then found this jewel." That is the real reason people give these jars. The set of two ships gift ready with no prices in the box, and you can add a free gift note at checkout. Plenty of folks keep one jar and give one away, or tuck a jar into one of our handwoven baskets for a gift that lasts long after the apple butter is gone. Lena grew up in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother, learning recipes her Old Order Amish family has handed down for generations on the Iowa-Missouri border. A few years back, her neighbors judged her apple butter the best tasting in their community in a friendly cook off. Every order ships free, and returns are accepted with no questions asked. If a jar ever arrives damaged, write to us with your order number and we will make it right.
