Clare's Preserves

Launched in 2014, Clare’s Preserves is a true artisan producer of multi award winning marmalades, jams, jellies, chutneys and relishes. Based in the foothills of Dartmoor, all products are handmade by Clare in small batches, using traditional open pot methods.

Quality and provenance are the driving forces behind all aspects of the business, from ingredients through to the packaging used. Clare knows the best ingredients make amazing preserves and ensures they are carefully sourced, using local producers wherever possible: honey from Dartmoor beekeepers and gin and whisky from our neighbours at The Dartmoor Whisky Distillery.

Fresh seasonal produce, such as rhubarb, damsons and soft fruits often comes from local growers, being picked to order and delivered the next morning – by the afternoon it’s in a jar. The citrus fruits used in our marmalades have to come from further afield, but we work with a local supplier to source the best organic fruit and are very proud to use ‘Gospa Citrus’ oranges in our award winning Seville marmalades.

Labels and packaging come from companies in Devon & Somerset and we insist on using UK manufactured glass jars!

Our preserves have been wowing food industry judges from around the country since we started and to date we have received 80 coveted awards.

…and what a year 2024 has been so far! All products entered into the Taste of The West Awards have scooped GOLD, with Sweet Pickled Cucumbers being selected as ‘Finalist’ in its class. We have also been shortlisted in the Food and Drink Devon Awards ….more updates to follow.
