The Amish people are known for their strong community values and old-fashioned way of living. They believe in hard work and close-knit families. They also believe in establishing a solid connection with the land, and most Amish communities are known for their agricultural practices. They like to cook with what they grow and thus eat hearty old-fashioned meals with their home-grown ingredients. They are some of the best canning and preserving experts worldwide. Once it is time for harvest, they do their best to preserve whatever they can for the winter and avoid waste. Amish families have passed on their tried and tested recipes through each generation. It's no wonder these recipes have become widely popular amongst other communities worldwide.
