Kitchen Kettle Village is situated in the Village of Intercourse, Pennsylvania which is located in Lancaster County’s beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch Country. It traces its origins to 1954, when Bob and Pat Burnley purchased a small jelly business and set up operations in their two-car garage. As business grew and tourism became a major factor in the area’s economy, the “garage” slowly transformed into a bustling Jam & Relish Kitchen that also incorporates a Bake Shop, and annually attracts over a million visitors from points worldwide. Kitchen Kettle offers an array of jams, jellies, relishes, butters and preserves, as well as syrups, mustards, grilling sauces and salsas, that are still made the old-fashioned way – by local farm women who use a small-batch, hand-stirred cooking process for peak flavor and quality control. Pat Burnley took years to develop her famous Chow Chow recipe and her Pickled Beets are some of the best in the world. Other recipes have been handed down through generations of great local cooks. And new recipes, more contemporary in flavor, tap into the popularity of hot and spicy ingredients as well as more healthful choices. The Jam & Relish Kitchen is truly the heart of Kitchen Kettle Village. Quaint buildings that have been crafted over the past 50 years from the family homestead, the original garage, stables and even an old chicken coop provide authenticity while staying true to Kitchen Kettle’s philosophy of simple things and doing them right. Tree-lined lanes with names like Peach, Pepper, Rhubarb and Blueberry lead visitors to over 40 clothing, crafts, artisan and food shops, a fine arts gallery, two restaurants, 17 lodging rooms, plus special attractions for children. Banjo Jimmy and his Sidemen, who have been performing at the Village for over 20 years, are a village institution with their own following.

Kitchen Kettle Goodies from the Jam and Relish Kitchen Perennial favorites such as Chow Chow, Pickled Beets and Strawberry Jam remain as popular as ever, but with consumers looking for new flavor sensations and shortcuts to cooking, as well as healthful foods, the “foodies” at Kitchen Kettle Village continue to develop new products that appeal to everyone. The growing popularity of salsa and southwestern cuisine led to development of six Kitchen Kettle Salsas – Corn, Black Bean, Mild, Raspberry, Peach and Zesty. Other newer taste additions like Kickin’ Pickles, Hot and Spicy Grilling Sauce, Sweet & Spicy Mustard, and Horseradish Mustard are also keeping customers’ taste buds fired up.

Kitchen Kettle’s Jam and Relish Kitchen also makes a variety of unique “Butters” including the appropriately named Peanut Butter Schmier which tastes like a cross between traditional peanut butter and caramel. The “Schmier” goes just as well melted over ice cream as in a regular sandwich. Pepper Jam is another favorite from the Jam and Relish Kitchen. Made from sweet red peppers it is the number one selling jam from the Jam & Relish Kitchen. Served over cream cheese it’s called the caviar of Lancaster County. Served over a round of brie and toasted, or applied as a glaze on tuna steaks and ham, it elevates these simple foods to new heights. Other popular Kitchen Kettle products include: Peach Pineapple Jam, Jalapeno Jam, Vidalia Onion Relish, Four Berry Jam, Pumpkin Butter, Pepper Relish
