Always fun to see what treasures can be found on Amazon especially as related to the Amish and Mennonites. One of the first things I found today were some jellies you don't often find:
AMISH DANDELION JELLY: If you have never had dandelion jelly before, you might want to to try some. I found it to be very fruity tasting. I once had a PB&J sandwich using Amish-made dandelion jelly and it was quite amazing. It's not something you find for sale often, so you can grab some here.
TOMATO JAM: Delicious if you slather it on a grilled cheese sandwich or as a side for some scrambled eggs. Good stuff. This is another item that it is unusual to find for sale commercially, so check this out here.
AMISH GIFT BASKET: SIGH, i remember when I first started this website back in the mid-2000s, I thought selling Amish-themed gift baskets would be popular, but I never could find a way to do it that make economic sense. I tried partnering with an Amish chocolate company and various other entities but I just couldn't pull it off. These gift baskets from the Amish buggy look really cool and would make a nice gift for someone who likes the Amish. $70 seems pricey, but when you look at all the stuff that comes in the basket, it really seems like pretty good value.

PEANUT BRITTLE CHEWIES: Man, these look good. I'm not a huge fan of just plain peanut brittle, but these look amazing. Click here.
Choteau Amish cookb
CHOTEAU, OKLAHOMA: The Amish and Mennonite settlement here is a very old one, very progressive, so it's kind of fun to find a cookbook from that community that is older. I have a cookbook from there but it was published about 5 yeasr ago. The older books really capture the esscence of the community's cookbook. Click here to check out this book, it looks like only a couple of copies can be found.
