Jen Harries has been making jams and marmalades (or watched them being made) for as long as she can remember; learning with her mother and grandmother. Her grandparents were also smallholders in Sussex, growing and selling seasonal fruit and vegetables in the village where they lived. From this background Jen has developed a real commitment to growing her own food for the family in a “natural and chemical-free” way.
Jam-making for friends and work colleagues has made Jen realise that there is a demand for “real” preserves-hence “Kyfyth Kernow” has evolved. The name was suggested by a Cornish speaking acquaintance and means simply Cornish Preserves.
Although Jen produces jams and chutneys mainly from her own home grown fruit, there are occasions when some fruits have to be bought in. As far as possible these are locally grown. |
