Who Are Sister's Preserves?

I love to use local and homegrown ingredients, family recipes and eco-friendly packaging to make preserves people love. Much of the fruit and vegetables in my products are grown by me, or swapped with local friends and neighbours for jars

of jam, marmalade or mustard.

I started out by adapting my Mum's runner bean pickle recipe to use up some green tomatoes. The beetroot Chutney recipe comes from my Auntie Brenda and the Marmalade one from my Nanna.

Glass jars can be endlessly recycled, and I encourage customers to

return empties for re-filling.

The gift packaging uses cardboard, wood-wool, biodegradable cellophane and cotton or raffia ribbons. I hope you enjoy browsing the range.

Our Preserving Story

Why Sister’s?

In 2016 I gave my brother, Anthony Rogers, a few jars of my green tomato chutney. He served some in baguettes and ploughman’s lunches in his deli. One of his customers liked it so much he asked if he could buy a jar. My brother replied, “Sorry, I don’t have any to sell, my sister makes it, I’ll ask her.” The next few times the customer came into the deli he asked, “Have you got any of your sister’s chutney?” ...and so the brand name was born!

Taste Deli in Warminster now sells Sister’s Chutney (my original green tomato recipe) as well as a range of other Sister’s preserves.

I've created a new product and need some help naming it... It's a sweet sauce for ice-cream, yoghurt or porridge, and tastes like apple strudel. The main ingredient is medlars, but since most people don't know what they are, I'm reluctant to call it "Medlar Sauce." It also contains apples, vanilla and cinnamon. The words here could be mixed and paired to come up with a name. What would you call it?

If you'd like some for you toast I have: Mixed Berry Jam, Rhubarb & Ginger Jam, Seville Orange Marmalade, Lemon & Lime Marmalade. For your lunches I can offer Farmhouse Pickle, Chilli Jelly, Autumn Harvest Chutney, Stout Mustard and Honey Mustard. And for swirling through yoghurt or pouring over ice-cream I suggest the wonderful Plum, Ginger & Lime Sauce. Message me with any questions. Collection from Stoughton, GU2.

Here is a selection of some of the processes involved in making cranberry sauce, elderflower cordial, elderberry cordial and smoky tomato relish. As you can imagine, there are many others involved from sourcing ingredients and recipes, through to bottling, labelling and selling.

These jammy bubbles describe the aims of my small business. Day 17 of #MarchMeetTheMaker2025 If you're looking for the list of available flavours to buy, you should find it pinned to the top of my page.

I'm delighted to be able to tell you I have been given a 5 star Food Hygiene Rating again by Guildford Borough Council. This means you can have confidence in the safety of my products. Of course, there are ther quality checks that I include, including the most important 'taste test' of every product I make. 😋

Today the #MarchMeetTheMaker2025 prompt is "tools." Here are some things I use every time I make jam, but there are at least 2 missing.

#MarchMeetTheMaker2025 word of the day is "Colour"

The prompt for #MarchMeetTheMaker2025 today is "Decision." I've been making and selling preserves now for 9 years, and sometimes I have to choose to stop making a particular flavour, because I can no longer source the ingredients easily, or it is not popular with many customers. This one was an odd case... read on.

Slowly building up my stock again. The flavours available to buy at the moment are: Mixed Berry Jam, Seville Orange Marmalade, Lemon & Lime Marmalade, Plum, Ginger & Lime Sauce, Chilli Jelly, Farmhouse Pickle. All at £3.80 Roasted Garlic Mustard, Honey Mustard and Stout Mustard at £3.20 each. Send me a message, collection from Stoughton GU2. Other flavours may be available from Taste Deli @tastedeliwarminster, and @solar.sisters.uk in Guildford and The Peppered Pear Pantry @thepepperedpearpantry in Godalming.

The #MarchMeetTheMaker prompt for today is "style". I really like old stone walls, natural wood, cottage garden planting, open log fires, and home-cooked food. This is the style I try to create. My preserves don't contain any artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives. I use glass from British companies, and recycle as much as possible. All my gift packaging is biodegradable, even the cellophane. Back in the 1980s in Wiltshire I would have been called "A Herbal" and nowadays, my daughter tells me I'm a "Granola Mom"!

Hello, I'm Jackie, the maker behind Sister's Preserves. I grow as much of the ingredients as possible or swap fruit and vegetables for jars of jam with local people in the Guildford area. This my third year joining #MarchMeetTheMaker and I hope you'll join me on the journey through March, learning more about my small business and how you can support this one and hundreds of others in the UK to be known and thrive.
