Amish Potato Salad

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 21:53:29 -0500

Amish Meatloaf

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 14:50:03 -0500

My husband normally HATES meatloaf, but because of the sauce, he loves this one. I usually have left-over sauce after baking. I just sit it to the side for a topping. -- posted by Chocolate Lover

Amish Potato Salad

Fri, 19 May 2006 16:18:35 -0400

This is an authentic recipe from a family that makes it and sells it at a local market. Amish potato salad is sweeter than regular potato salad. PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTN TO STEP 3! You DO NOT pour the whole dressing on - you pour on as much as you want. You might want to pour a little bit and let it sit overnight and pour on more the next day as it will soak in. -- posted by ~Rebecca~

Amish Potato Rolls

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 11:44:20 -0400

These are so soft and yummy! They remind me of some I had as a child that a neighbor made all the time. I am so glad to have found this recipe. For convenience I use instant potatoes a lot and it works fine. These are even better the next day which to me with bread is rare, so I plan to make them for Thanksgiving this year. -- posted by startnover

Traditional Mennonite Green Bean Soup

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:11:03 -0400

This is, of course, best with fresh-from-the-garden green beans, but frozen beans work equally well. The original recipe calls for an additional dollop of sour cream before serving, but I've grown up on this stuff just served with milk or half-and-half cream at the table. When I make this now, instead of boiling a ham bone for the stock, I slice up a pound or two of farmer sausage to make the stock and then just leave the meat in the soup. It's a mild soup, so some people add salt or chicken bouillon to give it a little extra flavour. You can also add other fresh veggies as well, like peas and chopped carrots. This is usually served with fresh New Bothwell cheese (here in Manitoba, anyway) and homemade buns. -- posted by Swan Valley Tammi

Amish Baked Corn

Summer Squash Bake

Tue, 08 Aug 2006 21:51:38 -0400

This was a big hit at a family potluck. It makes enough for everybody and has a rich creamy flavor. I was a little cautious at first because the fresh oregano tasted so strong, but after baking the flavors all blended perfectly. Still, if you like oregano even less than I do try using basil or thyme. If I know I'll be making it ahead of time, I prepare the dish up to the last step the night before and refrigerate it until I'm ready to bake it. Give it an extra 20 to 30 minutes in the oven if you do this. -- posted by Valeria

Mennonite Farmer Sausage

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 21:26:53 -0400

This is the recipe we got from my uncle when we wanted to make our own sausage. We discovered that making sausage was a bit more work than we were interested in -- especially since we had to rent shop space and use equipment we weren't really familiar with -- so we decided to leave it up to our butcher. Since he's also started using this recipe, we still get the same great sausage -- at a slightly higher price, yes, but with a lot less work! (I haven't included the time it takes to stuff casings because that will be different for everyone.) **Edited Sep07/06: I forgot to indicate in the intial post that this sausage gets smoked for 3-4 hours after it's in the casings. Without the smoking, it won't be farmer sausage, so it's a pretty key step!!! -- posted by Swan Valley Tammi

Baked Farmer Sausage, Potatoes, and Carrots With Gravy

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 20:38:49 -0400

This used to be the traditional Mennonite Sunday lunch at our house -- it has since become more likely at supper, but it's just as traditional and just as delicious! I'm not sure where farmer sausage is all available or whether it's one of those local specialties just available in Manitoba, so I've posted a recipe for that as well for those of you who make your own sausages. (#184513) If you can't buy it nearby or make it yourself, I'm terribly sorry -- you're definitely missing out! This recipe is for those of you who can. -- posted by Swan Valley Tammi

Good 'n Plenty Pennsylvania Dutch Shoo-Fly Pie

Fri, 15 Sep 2006 00:03:21 -0400

Truly one of my favorite desserts ever! This recipe comes from the AMAZING Good 'N Plenty Family Restaurant in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. Bar none, my favorite restaurant ANYWHERE. (And I get around!) Try this, and prepare to be amazed by the delicious, gooey/crumbly, SWEET richness! One of the characteristics of a traditional Shoo-Fly pie is a crumbly, messy, almost floury crust on top...I understand that all tastes are different, and for that, I'm sorry you and DH didn't like it, Sistah. :( -- posted by GoodMorningBurger

Favorite Amish Cinnamon Bread

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 22:10:10 -0500

I got this from my mom and as it was passed from person to person, I don't know where it originated. This is a "sourdough" recipe. It takes 10 days sitting out on the counter, but is absolutely wonderful. My family eats this bread for snacks, breakfast, gives as gifts, a must have for holidays. -- posted by cookin'mamma

Wayne's Mennonite Noodle Soup

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:30:04 -0500

This is the soup that my husband grew up on. He comes from a Mennonite Family in Manitoba, and they just call it simply "Noodle Soup" but I would call it chicken noodle soup. Also cooked by the Pennsylvania Dutch ;) This will be unlike any other Chicken Noodle you have had. There are healing qualities in the cinnamon and anise, a great elixer for colds/flu. I love it, hope you do too! -- posted by ~Leslie~

The Best Amish Meatloaf Recipe

Amish Homemade Mustard

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 21:34:47 -0500

This recipe is from Amish Cooking by Pathway Publishers. This recipe is a sweet, mild dipping mustard. Identical to Herlochers Dipping Mustard in flavor. If you live in the Ohio area, Herlochers is often available in the deli section of larger grocery stores. This is excellent for deli meat and cheese trays. Very good on smoked meat or cheese sandwiches. -- posted by bshemyshua

I love brown sugar cakes and this is one of the best. From Amish Cooking by Pathway Publishers. Please note that buttermilk or sour milk can be used. Sour milk is made by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar in the bottom of a measuring cup then fill the rest of the way with milk. Set aside to sour for 5 minutes. -- posted by bshemyshua

Roasted Pig's Stomach Aka Dutch Goose

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:58:06 -0400

Okay, I know it sounds gross...but, trust me, it only sounds that way!! This traditional Mennonite recipe comes from the Mennonite Community Cookbook that was given to me as a gift. Amounts can vary, since the stomach should be tightly stuffed. I usually use 1 lb bulk sausage and 1 lb. turkey sausage. Sometimes to make this very simple, I buy the hash brown shredded potatoes with onion and peppers. I have never used cabbage, but am sure it's good with that in it too. One of my favorite ways to eat sausage; great with a side salad or fresh green beans. TIP: Since pig stomach is not sold everywhere, you may need to pre-order your pig stomach with your butcher. -- posted by SReiff

Amish Noodles

Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:49:23 -0400

I've been looking for a soft all whole wheat bread, and I finally found it! This is in an Amish cookbook that I have, and I am writing it as it is written. I mix it with my KitchenAid. :) This is our sandwich bread that we have all the time on hand and the recipe can easily be cut into 1/3 to make just one loaf. :) 10/8/07 Corrections made to make bigger loaves.

I don't know what's better, the dish or the look you get when you say that's what you're serving. We always loved when Mom served up Pig Stomach. I have adapted this recipe from the Mennonite Cookbook. Consider the stomach to be the "delivery vehicle" and experiment with the seasonings ... follow the recipe for a traditional PA Dutch dish. -- posted by luvinlif2k

Amish Cinnamon Bread (Friendship Bread)

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:59:36 -0400

Amish Friendship Bread is a great bread for those special occasions. When you've made your bread, you can give your friends a sample and the starter that came from the original batter that helped to make the sample bread! Then your friends can make their own and pass it along to their friends. This is why the bread is called "friendship bread". It's time consuming, but it's worth it. Amish Friendship Bread is a starter bread. If you know someone with a starter, you are in luck. For those of you without access to a starter, I have placed the directions for the starter in step one. When passing the recipe on, be sure they realize that part of step one is not day one for them. Or you may want to eliminate the part of step one that does not pertain to them when passing on your starters. -- posted by Chef Spice

Amish Style Chicken and Corn Soup (Ww Core)

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 14:28:34 -0400

Found this one in a Weight Watchers cookbook, and modified it to suit the WW Core program. A great way to use up leftover chicken and to provide a good flavorful lunch soup quickly. What sets this apart from so many other chicken and corn soups is the absence of dairy and the use of saffron to give the dish a distinct color, aroma and flavor.

Amish Pie

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:50:28 -0400

From an old handwritten card. This recipe originally called for fresh ice cream straight out of the ice cream churn. I took this to be at that time when the ice cream is still soft before you set it in the freezer to harden. Anyway if you want to follow the recipe as written substitute homemade ice cream in here and use it straight from the churn. Cooking time is freezing time. -- posted by Nyteglori

I don't know if this is truly Amish or not. Your Mummy got the starter for me from the Alpaca lady that goes to the vet's office that she works for. It is the recipe that all four of you go a little buggy for and that Robert, darling mischief that he is at 3 (almost 4), waited till your Nanny and I wern't watching and stole a huge muffin (recipe also makes almost 18 HUGE muffins if you can find the pan) and then ran out the front door with only to be busted by your Mummy as he was cheerfully trying to stuff the whole thing in his mouth at once. -- posted by the werecat

Black Coffee Cake

This recipe is from the 1980 copy of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania. My Nana saved a copy of the cookbook and gave it to be when I became an adult. The cookbook has seen better days and I thought it would be good to post some of the recipes and keep them alive after the book has fallen apart. Also, I think it is a nice snap shot of the type of recipes these women (largely of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry) of rural Pennsylvania where making in 1980. The cookbook says this was the recipe submitted by the then Minister of the church, Pastor Harold Smith. My Nana has handwritten next to the recipe "This is almost black and VERY good!' -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

You need a cup of live yeast starter for this. There are good sourdough starter recipes on Zaar. Important Note: Don't use metal spoons or equipment. Do not refrigerate. Use only glazed ceramic or plastic bowls or containers. For more variations to the original bread recipe, see www.armchair.com/recipe/amish/amshvar2.html or www.armchair.com/recipe/amish/amishvar.html -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Another way to use your Amish Friendship Bread Starter. If you don't have starter, use Recipe #153 to start the process. You can add a simple glaze of 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar mixed with 1-2 Tbls. of milk, or you can leave it plain. Can be used as a dessert or coffeecake. -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

Amish Bean Soup

This is a wonderful warm soup to warm the heart in these last cold days of winter. Being in Wisconsin, warm soup is always a welcome thing. This is a very simple amish soup, so it has very simple ingredients. It's perfect for a beginner cook or someone like me who just wants something easy. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Smoked Ham Hock and Cabbage Soup

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 02:05:08 -0400

Got this recipe from an Amish neighbor years ago, but she doesn't remember where she got it. I have had this at the Hoss's steakhouse chain as an appetizer or with a big salad.This is more about the broth than the ham or cabbage. Be careful of the salt as some ham hocks can be very salty, but on the plus side they are available at any grocery store. -- posted by Chef #1149837
