Jim And Jules Big Adventure - Artisan chutney and preserve producers for the home counties

Our Permanent Product Range

When we started out on our chutney based adventure we only had Scrummy Apple Chutney in our portfolio but we soon built a range of goodness which we sell though our brilliant array of deli's, farm shops and cafes and occasionally at shows and events. Strangely we don't sell chutney via the website, this is simply because the postage cost is too high. However if you are in need of a few jars of Scrummy or a tub of Onion And Chill, get in touch and I'm sure we'll work out a way of getting it over to you.

Scrummy Apple Chutney

Handmade with love, our sweet and very appley chutney is the perfect accompaniment for a strong cheddar ploughmans, sausages and even a curry. We have used it to glaze pork for roasting and gammon steaks before grilling. It is versatile and delicious!

Pops' Perfect Piccalilli

An English classic & alternative to an Indian pickle. The veg are fresh and crisp and the sauce a mix of spice and sweetness. Our piccalilli is a connoisseurs favourite and perfect for a picnic. Bright yellow with turmeric it will make you sunny in your tummy. Pair it with a scotch egg or lovely pork pie & your day will be better

Onion And Chilli Gubbins

Hand made with happy tears, our versatile Gubbins is a cross between a chutney and a relish. Packed with onions and some chilli heat, add it to gravy for a zingy sausage and mash, mix with cream cheese for an awesome dip, liven up scrambled eggs on toast. It is simply a moreish jar of lovely yumpsciousness.

Beetroot And Spiced Orange Relish

Making this relish is a really messy business but it’s well worth the effort. If you like a beef sandwich try some of this in it, or when you’re cooking a duck breast this relish goes really well on the side. Personally I’m all about it with cold smoked ham.

Our Seasonal Range

As well as our permanent range, throughout the year we when the time is right we bring in seasonal products. These are some of our favourite products and it's a shame we can't have them thoughout the year, but that's what makes it special. I genuinely get excited when its time for Rude-Barb & Date Fandango as it's top of the pops. Or in January when our kitchen starts smelling of oranges as Jules is making the Seville Orange Marmalade. Keep checking in on this page and we'll update it when new products are on sale.

Rude-Barb & Date Fandango

Sticky and sweet with subtle rhubarb flavours, we are munching it with cheese, cheese and more cheese STOP PRESS, STOP PRESS!! That was all true until I tried it as a dip with papadums and my world changed, now I cannot wait until my next curry. This is much better than Mango! just get involved.

Apple And Chilli Jelly

Chillies are good for you, they are said to trigger "feel good" endorphins and are packed with vitamin A, an immune system boosting antioxidant. It's great with cream cheese as a spicy dip, or why not smear it on salmon for a sweet and hot glaze. We use is to liven up leftovers or add Va Va Voom to cold meats.

Damsons In Distress

Ripe and juicy and picked right outside our back door these purple pellets of passion create a rich, dark and extravagant chutney. We love Damsons for their heady mix of sweet and sharp and their beautiful colour. Perfect with cold meats, but especially amazing with some traditional pork sausages.

Pear, Fig And Walnut Chutney

Britain meets the Med, A delicate and delicious mixture of flavours and textures. Distinct pear flavour combinied with a nutty crunch and a seedy explosion makes this chutney a taste sensation.

Our Jamtastic Range

There is something really special about jam. Slathered on toast or a buttery crumpet or sandwiched in between two layers of delicious cake. In the summer you will find the whole family happily picking fruit at our local PYO. However, the fruit season is short and demand is high and sometimes we need to use specially selected, high quality frozen fruit. We cook our jam using traditional methods, in open pans and small batches to ensure you have the highest quality product possible

Seville Orange Marmalade

In the cold and gloomy depths of winter the Seville Orange brings brightness to our breakfast table. Available for a short time in January only, this really is a special edition. Making this delicious yumminess takes over 48 hours with each strip of orange being handcut

Jamtastic Raspberry Jam

Rich in potassium, vitamin A and calcium, raspberries are a true superfood. On toast or in a chocolate layer cake, add wine or orange juice as a glaze for a fruit salad, or why not add a dollop onto the base of a cheesecake for a delicious summery treat.

Jamtastic Strawberry Jam

Strawberries are at their best for a matter of days. Hand crafted and made in the traditional way to make the most delicious jam ever. Scones with thick cream and strawberry jam, roly poly, classic Victoria sponge cake, meringues with natural yoghurt and a dollop.... or just with a teaspoon & the jar

Jamtastic Blackcurrant Jam

These little gems are fabulous. Delicious and packed with Vit C and antioxidants. A marvellous treat, some say a spoon mixed with hot water will cure a cold. Try making a sauce to go with duck or simply spooning a layer into your next cheesecake.

Blackberry And Apple Jam

One of the highest antioxident levels in all fruits. Autumn is here and with it brings little squishy berries of joy. Mixed with locally grown apples, this jam is a delicious treat. A classic combination used in crumbles and pies alike.
