Mennonite Spiced Georgia Pecans: With the holiday season coming up, here's a bit about this recipe: This recipe comes to us from a Beachy Amish Mennonite man in far SE Georgia. Wow, I'd love to visit with him at his farm someday, because he has his family raise pecans, Vidalia onions, sweet potatoes, and all sorts of southern specialities. He states that "this makes a nice gift when place in a clear glass or plastic container with a top and tie a ribbon around it." Click here for the recipe.
Frosted Banana Bars: I love bars and banana and frosting, so this is a marriage made in a dessert heaven! Click here.
Amish Church Peanut Butter Spread: For most non-Amish, this is considered dessert. For more Amish, this is a meal. I've seen Amish people slather this on sandwiches or just eat it for supper with a spoon out of a bowl, it is good stuff. Here is a bit more about this concoction: One thing a visitor to Holmes County, Ohio Amish-themed restaurants will notice right away is an unusual condiment on the table not found in many other areas. In place of the typical bottles of signature red catsup and bright yellow mustard, you'll usually see a squeeze bottle of apple butter and "Amish church peanut butter spread." The latter is an Amish concoction that has typically been associated with the meal after church services. But touristy restaurants have latched onto it and serve it on site most places. I jokingly call it "Amish vegemite" because like the dark spread from Down Under that Aussies enjoy in so many ways, the Amish enjoy their church peanut butter spread in equally similar versatility.
