Aunt Ruth’s Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve

Goot Essa Aunt Ruth’s Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve is an all-natural, home-made conserve unique to our Amish heritage.  The taste of this conserve is of strawberry and rhubarb, combined with hints of orange and lemon. The purple-red color adds eye appeal while the pieces of fruit provide a unique mouth touch. This conserve pairs with our traditional cheeses, Mountain Valley Sharp Cheddar, Mountain Meadow Mild Cheddar and Der Vauden Swiss, as well as the hard textured cheeses including Felsa Yehr and Der Alpen Cheese, and also our semi-soft cheeses such as Der Gouda, Der Edel Bleu and Old German Weissa Cheese. Aunt Ruth’s Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve will bring out some subtle flavors of these cheeses which may not be readily apparent.

The Amish people often combine what seem to be widely different tastes in order to produce an entirely new experience. Many of these recipes were developed from the desire to save fruits grown in the family garden. These preserves are used as gifts and are highly prized among families.

The strawberries and rhubarb for Aunt Ruth’s Strawberry Rhubarb Conserve are purchased from local gardeners.

All Goot Essa condiments are produced in kitchens inspected and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
