Dutch Treat Raspberry-Red Beet Spread

Goot Essa Dutch Treat Raspberry-Red Beet Spread is an all-natural, home-made conserve unique to our Amish heritage. The taste of this conserve is of red ripe raspberries combined with the earthy undertones of garden raised red beets. The deep purplish red color adds eye appeal with a smooth jelly-like texture. This preserve pairs with Der Weichen Gehl, Emanuel Vom Tal, Old German Weissa Cheese, Der Mutterschaf, Der Edel Bleu, Mountain Valley Sharp Cheddar, Mountain Meadow Mild Cheddar, Der Vauden Swiss, Der Alpen Cheese, Alt Medisher Goat Cheese, and Mountain Home Woodsmoked Cheddar. This jam is also a unique experience on hot biscuits or warm toast.

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 berries for Dutch Treat Raspberry-Red Beet Spread are grown in neighbor’s gardens and the red beets are raised by the Esh family. All Goot Essa condiments are produced in kitchen inspected and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
