A Month of Chef’s Preserves
A beautifully packed one-off preserve box containing four full-size jars, thoughtful extras and your choice of flavours or a chef-curated seasonal selection.
Quick answer: A Month of Chef’s Preserves is a single-purchase gift box containing four full-size jars of handmade jam, marmalade or a mixture of both. Choose your own jars or let Sarah curate a seasonal selection. This is not a subscription and it will not renew automatically.
Give someone a month of better breakfasts, or quietly keep the whole box for yourself.
A Month of Chef’s Preserves brings together four full-size jars from The Artisan Kitchen’s handmade range, along with a jam spoon, seed gift and handwritten welcome card.
You can select four favourite flavours or choose a seasonal box curated by chef and founder Sarah Churchill. Either way, you pay once and receive one beautifully packed box.

Two Ways to Choose Your Box
Choose Your Own Flavours
Select four jars from the available jam and marmalade range.
This option suits customers who already know their favourites or want to choose flavours especially for the recipient.
Chef-Curated Selection
Let Sarah choose four jars from the seasonal range.
The selection may include established favourites, limited batches or preserves that are tasting particularly good in the kitchen.
Choose Your Own Jam and Marmalade Box
Building your own box allows you to choose every flavour.
For example, you might select four fruit-packed jams, create a citrus-led marmalade collection or combine the two for a varied breakfast box.
This works especially well when you know the recipient loves a particular fruit, prefers alcohol-free preserves or already has a few Artisan Kitchen favourites.
Prefer a Chef-Curated Surprise?
Choose the curated option and Sarah will select four preserves from the flavours available at the time.
Because we cook in small batches, the range changes naturally throughout the year. Therefore, the box may include bright citrus marmalades, heritage fruit jams, berry preserves or a limited seasonal jar.
The result feels thoughtful and personal, without asking you to make every flavour decision yourself.
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
The curated box lets me choose jars that work beautifully together. I may include a familiar favourite, something seasonal and perhaps a smaller batch that gives the box an element of surprise.
This Is Not a Subscription

However, customers who would like regular deliveries can join The Chef’s Preserve Club separately.
Seasonal Small-Batch Preserves
Our flavours follow the seasons and the fruit available to us.
During winter, the range may lean towards Seville oranges and other citrus fruits. Later in the year, plums, berries, cherries and heritage fruits bring different colours and flavours to the kitchen.
As a result, curated boxes can change throughout the year and no two seasonal selections need feel exactly the same.
How to Enjoy Your Preserve Box
- Spread over toast, crumpets, croissants and brioche
- Serve with scones, butter and clotted cream
- Spoon through yoghurt, porridge or granola
- Use as cake fillings, pastry glazes or baking ingredients
- Pair suitable preserves with cheese and crackers
- Share the jars, or keep all four and tell nobody
A Thoughtful Preserve Gift
This box has the generosity of a small hamper while keeping the focus firmly on exceptional preserves.
