My Amish neighbor brought jars of this stuff over, and I knew I had to copy the recipe! | May 24, 2025

In the heart of the Midwest, where the fields stretch wide and the air carries the sweet scent of ripening fruit, there’s a tradition that has been passed down through generations: the making of Amish Jam. This
slow cooker version brings the simplicity and warmth of those old-fashioned kitchens into your home. It’s a recipe that speaks of summer’s bounty, preserving the goodness of fresh fruits to be enjoyed all year round. Perfect for those who cherish the art of canning and the joy of homemade preserves, this Amish Jam is a testament to the enduring love of family and the land.
This delightful Amish Jam pairs beautifully with freshly baked bread or warm, flaky biscuits. It’s also a lovely addition to a cheese platter, offering a sweet contrast to sharp cheddar or creamy brie. For a simple yet satisfying treat, try it swirled into yogurt or as a topping for ice cream. And of course, a spoonful on your morning pancakes or waffles can turn an ordinary breakfast into something truly special.
