A Kitchen Full of Possibility

It all began in a country kitchen surrounded by the simple joys of homegrown produce and the sweet smell of something bubbling away on the stove. What started as a way to use up an abundance of fruit quickly turned into a passion — first cooking for friends and family, then for small local markets where the jars never seemed to last the morning.

There was something about the warmth of sharing homemade preserves that just felt right, and before long, In A Pickle Preserves was born.

Crafted the Traditional Way

Over the years, that same love for honest, handcrafted food has guided everything we do. Each jar, bottle, and pouch is still made with care, just like it was on day one — small batches, quality ingredients, and a whole lot of pride.

From our jams and chutneys to our pickles, sauces, dip mixes, and ever-growing range of BBQ rubs, we’ve stayed true to the belief that good food doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be made with heart.

Locally Grown, Family Made

What began as a humble side project has grown into a family-run business that celebrates the seasons and the people behind them. We still use local produce wherever we can, working closely with growers who share our values.

Every batch tells a little story — of early mornings at the markets, of recipes perfected over years, and of that familiar sound of lids sealing tight on the bench after another good cook-up.

Flavour With a Story

In recent years, our range has expanded to include over a dozen BBQ rubs and seasonings — each with its own unique flavour and story, from the smoky depth of Double Smoked to the bold kick of Moroccan, the sweet tang of Tennessee, and the warm spice of Ironwood Pepper.

We’ve poured our creativity into designing each one, right down to the labels, so they look as good on your shelf as they taste on your plate.

Preserving More Than Flavour

At its heart, In A Pickle Preserves has always been about more than what’s inside the jar. It’s about kitchen table conversations, the laughter shared over a meal, and the quiet pride that comes from making something with your own two hands.

It’s about the people who have supported us from the very beginning — the locals who stopped by our first market stall, the families who bring our jars to their own tables, and the friends who’ve become part of our story along the way.

Every jar we make still carries a bit of that story — a bit of home, a bit of heart, and a whole lot of love. Because in the end, that’s what preserving really means to us: not just keeping the flavours of the season, but holding onto the moments that make life sweet.

From Our Family to Yours

We’ve built this little business from our kitchen bench, with the hope that every jar finds its way to a table where people gather, talk, laugh, and slow down — even just for a moment.

Whether it’s a spoonful of lemon butter on warm toast, a chutney alongside Sunday lunch, or a BBQ rub that brings everyone together around the grill, we hope our products feel like a piece of home.

From our family to yours — thank you for being part of our story.

Here’s to good food, good company, and the kind of simple joys worth preserving.
