Breakfast & Brunch Spreads

Jars for first plates of the day

Good breakfasts do not have to be complicated. A warm slice of toast, a biscuit, a bowl of oats, or a scoop of yogurt can turn into a real meal with the right jar nearby. The Breakfast & Brunch Spreads collection gathers the fruit butters, preserves, and gentle salsas that Ohio families reach for most often when the coffee is brewing and the kitchen is still waking up.

Everything starts with fruit from Ohio and Great Lakes farms - apples, peaches, pears, and berries that still taste like the place they came from. Amish and family partners help with picking, trimming, and stirring, then we simmer in modest kettles until the texture is just right. Some batches stay pleasantly chunky, with pieces of fruit you can see. Others cook down until they are smooth and velvety. When a kettle tastes ready, we jar it on the farm while steam curls up and the whole kitchen smells like breakfast.

The jars that feel most like home sit close to our Fruit Preserves & Jams. Peach or berry preserves spoon easily onto waffles and pancakes, stir into plain yogurt, or layer between slices of toast and peanut butter. They bring a gentle sweetness that fits just as well at a weekday table as it does on a holiday brunch buffet. For those who like something a bit deeper and more spiced, the Spreads & Butters selection offers apple, pumpkin, and similar spreads that feel like cool weather in a jar.

Apple butter has its own place in many Ohio kitchens, which is why there is a dedicated Apple Butter Breakfast corner. A thin layer on hot toast or biscuits, a spoonful swirled into oatmeal, or a bit tucked under sharp cheese on a breakfast sandwich can quietly anchor the whole plate. Peaches and pears from the same orchards can quickly turn into a warm side with a little butter in a skillet, or become a simple crisp with oats and sugar for brunch dessert.

For lighter bowls, our Yogurt & Oatmeal Toppers are sized and seasoned for spooning. A spoonful over cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or warm oats gives color and flavor without needing extra sugar. On weekends when the table stays set a little longer, jars from Cheese Board Pairings move easily from breakfast into early afternoon. Fruit spreads sit beside cheeses, sliced meats, nuts, and fresh bread so everyone can build the plate they like.

All along the way, the ingredient lists stay straightforward: fruit, a modest amount of sugar or sweetener, spices, maybe a splash of lemon. No long list of extras. These are jars meant to be opened on busy school mornings and quiet Sundays alike, helping Ohio families turn simple bread, grains, and dairy into breakfasts and brunches that feel settled and warm without adding much more work.
