Handcrafted Quality: Made in small batches in Lena Mast's Old Order Amish kitchen, cooked in pots right on the family stove. Her recipes for jams and fruit butters were handed down from her mother and her grandmother. Real Amish Peach Jam: A true old fashioned jam, mostly fruit, filled with real peaches picked at the peak of freshness. In a friendly community cook-off, the neighbors judged Lena's recipe the best tasting jam around. Two 10 oz Jars: Sells as a set of two 10 ounce jars, each about 2 1/2 inches across and 4 1/2 inches tall. Choose the 4 jar option when you want to keep the pantry stocked or set a jar aside for giving. Every Ingredient, From the Jar Label: Peaches, Sugar, Mango Juice (Water, Apple Juice, Pear Juice, Mango Puree, Ascorbic Acid, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid), Fruit Pectin Mix (Dextrose, Pectin, Fumaric Acid), Vanilla. That is the whole list. No artificial flavors or preservatives. The Secret Is the Juice: Lena swaps the water in the old recipe for fruit juice, a small twist that deepens the fresh peach flavor in every jar.

Gift Ready: Arrives carefully packed with no prices in the box, and you can add a free gift note at checkout. Shipping is free on every order. American Heritage: Cooked and hand canned by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, each jar filled and each lid screwed on by hand, just as jam was put up generations ago. This Amish peach jam is made the old fashioned way, homemade in small batches in Lena Mast's kitchen on the Iowa-Missouri border. Lena cooks each batch in pots right on the family stove, following recipes handed down from her mother and grandmother, and fills every 10 oz jar with real peaches picked at the peak of freshness. It sells as a set of two jars, one for the breakfast table and one for the pantry, with a 4 jar option when you want to stock up. Spread it on morning toast, warm biscuits, or a thick slice of bread still warm from the oven. If you have only ever had grocery store jelly, expect something a little different here. This is a true jam, mostly fruit rather than firmed up juice, so it spreads softer and looser than jelly, and that is exactly how it should be. The ingredient list is short and plain: peaches, sugar, a mango juice blend, a fruit pectin mix, and a touch of vanilla, with no artificial flavors or preservatives. The juice is Lena's quiet secret. A few years back the ladies in the community set out to see whether her age old recipes could be improved, and the one change that stuck was trading the water in the recipe for fruit juice, which deepened the fresh peach flavor and earned her jam the title of best tasting in the community. Peach lovers find these jars do not sit around long. One reviewer writes, "I love anything peaches. These definitely did not disappoint and were well worth the price," and another says the jam is "so delicious it makes me smile." Beyond the toast, stir a spoonful into oatmeal or plain yogurt, or warm a little to spoon over vanilla ice cream. Because sealed jars keep for well over a year on the pantry shelf, this is also a gift you can buy ahead. Every order arrives carefully packed with no prices in the box, you can add a free gift note at checkout, and shipping is always free. Lena grew up in the kitchen alongside her mother and grandmother, learning to turn each fruit harvest into jams and butters her family could enjoy all year long. That is still how it works today in her Old Order Amish home on the Iowa-Missouri border. Each small batch is cooked on the family stove, each jar filled by hand, and each lid screwed on by hand rather than by machine, so once in a while a lid holds on a bit tighter than the rest. A minute under hot running water usually loosens a stubborn one right up. Your jars are ready to ship from the Shipping Barn, carefully packed, and on their way to your door with free delivery.
