Our Story

Pittenweem Preserves opened just four years ago in 2018, when a local store aksed Fiona to supply homemade jam to sell to locals and visitors. From that modest start Pittenweem Preserves jams, chutneys and vinegars are now stocked in award winning farm shops and some of Scotland’s most prestigious places including Rosslyn Chapel, The Royal Botanic Gardens and many of The National Trust for Scotland properties.

With husband Michael, Fiona works in a dedicated kitchen in The Jam Shack situated in the garden of their seaside home in the beautiful fishing village of Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife.

Using her lifelong love of jam making, Fiona makes all the preserves in maslin pans in batches of no more than 14 jars. Fruit and vegetables are sourced from local farms and gardens where possible with only top quality produce used.

In 2020 their Raspberry Jam was awarded Gold for Best Product at the Scottish Speciality Food Show.

This year to celebrate their 5th birthday Fiona has published a book “Recipes from The Jam Shack” packed with colour photographs and recipes plus hints and tips on effortless preserve making.
