Bauman’s Sweet Tomato Butter reveals the unexpectedly rich and versatile side of the tomato. Made with locally grown tomatoes, lemon, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, it balances garden-fresh flavor with gentle sweetness and warm spice in a smooth, spreadable butter.

Serve it with cheese and crackers, spread it on sandwiches or burgers, spoon it over cream cheese, or use it as a glaze for pork, beef, meatloaf, meatballs, or roasted vegetables. As it cooks, the natural sugars caramelize into a glossy, flavorful finish that moves easily between the cheese board and the dinner table.

Why We Chose It

There’s a Reason It’s Here.

We chose Bauman’s Sweet Tomato Butter because it is surprising, versatile, and rooted in the resourceful spirit of the American pantry. It gives customers something less familiar to discover while remaining easy to use in everyday meals. Its savory-sweet flavor also creates pairing possibilities beyond breakfast, especially with crackers, cheese, sandwiches, grilled meats, and pantry gift collections.

The Savory Side of Pennsylvania Fruit Butter

Bauman’s began in 1892 with a cider press, a family apple-butter recipe, and a desire to preserve the local harvest. From its factory in Sassamansville, Pennsylvania, the family has carried that tradition forward across generations while expanding the pantry beyond the orchard. Sweet Tomato Butter reflects that same old-fashioned ingenuity—turning locally grown tomatoes and pantry spices into a distinctive spread with a place at both casual meals and special gatherings.

More From the American General Store

Bauman’s Fruit Butter

From the heart of Pennsylvania’s Upper Perkiomen Valley, Bauman’s Fruit Butters carry forward a legacy that began in 1892, when John W. Bauman first started producing apple butter using a cider press and a family recipe passed down through generations. What began as a small local operation quickly grew as neighbors and farmers came to rely on the rich, slow-cooked flavors that defined Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens.

That tradition reaches even deeper into early American history. The recipe itself traces back to Schwenkfelder settlers who arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1700s, bringing with them the knowledge of preserving fruit through slow cooking — a method that allowed families to store food without refrigeration and sustain themselves through the seasons. Today, Bauman’s continues to use those same old-world techniques, cooking fruit down naturally into smooth, flavorful spreads without artificial additives or shortcuts.

At PartyLike1776Again, Bauman’s Fruit Butters represent more than just a pantry staple — they are a true piece of Americana. Rooted in heritage, crafted with care, and still family-run generations later, each jar connects the past to the present, bringing the authentic taste of Pennsylvania tradition to the American table.

Fruit Butter Uses

Bauman’s Fruit Butters pair perfectly with our pancake and dessert mixes because they bring a depth of flavor that goes beyond ordinary toppings. Slow-cooked to a smooth, velvety consistency, these fruit butters are rich, concentrated, and naturally sweet — the ideal complement to warm pancakes, fresh-baked cakes, muffins, and cobblers. Instead of simply adding sweetness, they enhance each bite with real orchard flavor and a hint of old-world spice.

Even beyond toppings, Bauman’s Fruit Butters can be used in place of fruit in nearly any recipe — or added alongside it — to elevate flavor and texture. Whether swirled into batter, layered into desserts, or used as a filling or glaze, they bring a level of richness and depth that turns everyday recipes into something truly special.

Together, they create a true Americana experience. Our mixes provide the hearty, from-scratch foundation, while Bauman’s Fruit Butters add the finishing touch — a tradition rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens and passed down through generations. It’s a simple combination, but one that transforms everyday baking into something memorable, comforting, and unmistakably classic.
