An Amish Treat you can Make

Have you ever tried Amish peanuts butter?  Commonly referred to as "church spread".
Oh my goodness - if you have not, you are truly missing out.
This is probably one of my favorite things ever.

Many years back, when I would visit the Amish store, I would always stock up.  This tasty delight came in pint jars and back then would run me about $7 a jar.  That would be a super cheap find today.  It seems to range from about $11.49 upwards.  I have actually seen it on the Web for as much as $15 a pint PLUS shipping.
You can make your own for a whole lot less.

I plan on making several jars of this to add to my holiday gift baskets.  Peanut butter stays fresh for a long time once opened - as does this wonderful spread.  I think I will make and place in half pint jars - maybe pint.  It will stay fresh for quite a while being shelf stable.

I have everything on hand to make this - you can buy small jars of marshmallow crème for around $1 - just look around (got mine at Dollar Tree)


This is just too yummy on hot biscuits or homemade bread, served on a sandwich, served with crackers OR just eating it with a spoon!!!!!!
Seriously, if you have never had this delicacy, you need to try it.

This is a stable at most Amish tables.  NO, it isn't calorie free - but it sure is gooey and yummy.

I am going to try to make almost everything in my Christmas baskets this year.  This will a fun addition, that will surprise and please many.
ENJOY

    Sounds delicious. 4 years ago when I was in USA, we visited the Amish area and did buy lots of goodies but I don't remember the peanut butter.

    We usually use this spread on church cookies...soft sugarcookies made with buttermilk. We've also made the spread with syrup instead of brown sugar. Yummy

      I remember as a kid Mom would mix peanut butter and syrup together as a treat. This reminds me of that only a bit creamier. Yum on sugar cookies - that sounds good.

    Hi Cheryl, I made it! Delish! It was very easy. Do you put it in the fridge? Made this bread for it. Try it. I make it on the dough cycle and do the rest in the oven. Let it rise for 30 min. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes in a greased 9x5 loaf.

    My daughter had the spread on an apple. Have a good week. 90 degrees in PA.
