You would be more likely to find the jams in parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio. More common among the Amish I would think.
Lemon curd I am not so sure about.

The Amish generally have a German ancestry. I would think that, if their food leans in any
direction away from their "country" cooking and American cooking, it would be German.
Lemon curd sounds like it could be something that the British eat, too. After all, they have that nasty stuff called marmalade. But we haven't had very many British immigrants in the last . . . oh . . . 300 years or so, and they've adopted American cuisine. It's probably hard to find ethnic British food in the U.S., in part because of that. Too, and
I'm not saying that I agree, but British food doesn't have the best of reputations in America. Maybe there's a restaurant or two in the D.C. area for the visiting diplomats, entourages, ne'er do wells, etc.
Oh, incidentally, Gibraltar (British territory) may have a common border with Portugal. If not, the common border is with Spain, but Portugal is not very far away. There might be a lot of sharing of cuisine.
