Did you know that the modern method of preserving jam arose in the 17th century?

However, jam making was practised in one way and another by civilisations like the Romans and the Greeks. The practice of preserving fruit by cooking it with sugar dates back centuries. Interestingly, the word 'jam' comes from the Portuguese word 'jamelar', which means "to thicken or congeal."

Rushlake Green Village Stores is committed to bringing you all your favourite treats straight to your door in Sussex.

Among our products is an array of Wilkin and Sons jams, a well-loved British brand which was founded in the late Victorian age in Essex. Although they were originally a small business, Wilkin and Sons has grown over the years to become one of the most renowned producers of high-quality preserves in the UK.

The company started when Arthur Charles Wilkin started cultivating fruit on a small plot of land in Tiptree, with his preserves made using surplus fruit grown on his farm.

In the late 19th century, Wilkin and Sons expanded and brought up additional land for fruit cultivation; they also invested in improved manufacturing facilities. The company is committed to only using only the finest fruits and traditional cooking methods.

This led to them receiving their first royal warrant in 1911, as a supplier of jams and preserves to the royal household! Obviously this was a significant milestone in the history of the company. This royal endorsement further solidified Wilkin and Sons' reputation for excellence.

Today, they stay true to their traditional recipes and artisanal production methods. Wilkin and Sons also remain a family-run company, with descendants involved in its management.

The company has introduced new flavours, packaging options, and product lines to meet changing consumer preferences while maintaining its commitment to quality.

Premium-quality preserves and condiments delivered throughout Sussex.

Rushlake Green Village Stores has an excellent range of products prized for their superior taste and quality.

That includes classic Wilkin And Sons Strawberry Jam which is ideal for use on toast, in porridge, or when making cakes like Victoria sponges. This type of jam is often associated with traditional English tea time, especially when served with scones and clotted cream. It can also be used as a filling for pastries, cakes, and cookies, or as a topping for yoghurt, oatmeal or ice cream.

Strawberry jam is a source of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C, antioxidants and dietary fibre. However, it's also obviously high in sugar, so it's best enjoyed as a treat!

We deliver all products in high quality packaging, avoiding plastic wherever possible.
