Nikki’s Homemade Preserves

Meet Nikki’s Preserves

A few years back you’d have been more likely to find Nikki thrashing out a case in court than chopping up ingredients in the kitchen! In 2010, having been an Employment Law Solicitor for over 10 years, she decided to steer her professional life in a totally different direction and make her love of cooking into a career.

Fast forward a few years, and now fully established in and around Newmarket, Suffolk, her award-winning jams, marmalades and chutneys remain the best sellers throughout local markets, fairs and restaurants. 

Nikki has a great relationship with local suppliers and always sources her ingredients from these fantastic places whenever possible. She loves strong seasonal ingredients and, as well as traditional style products, likes experimenting with unusual flavours to produce foods you rarely find in the shops such as Seville Orange and Brandy Marmalade or Sloe Gin and Juniper Jelly.

In 2020 she introduced naturally flavoured Gins and Vodkas to her range of products.  Using her knowledge and experience from 14 years of preserves making, Nikki has balanced the flavour of the fruit with sugar and either gin or vodka to give a smooth and full flavoured product.

Nikki also makes a whole range of hampers, especially around Christmas time, as well as Christmas Puddings & Cakes, both traditional and Gluten Free.
