Willamette Raspberry
Yarra Valley Strawberry
Blackberry
Raspberry and Strawberry
Summerberry
Apricot and Almond
Rhubarb and Strawberry
Blood Plum
Morello Cherry
Blueberry Conserve
Our jams are cooked in French preserving pans in small batches to allow the true flavour of the fruit to stand out. Cunliffe & Waters jams contain only the fruit on the label and we add freshly squeezed lemon juice to help set the fruit and give our jams a lovely tart finish.
Natural fruit pectin is added at the end of the cooking process to help set the jam, thus preserving the colour and flavour of each jar.
Things that go with jam….
Scones, toast and croissant - of course!
A generous spoonful stirred through natural yoghurt.
Spread a layer on a sponge cake, line a tart case or glaze a strawberry shortcake.
Our Willamette Raspberry jam in a doughnut is getting pretty close to heaven.
Spoon on top of custard tarts or Danish pastries.
Drizzle over crushed up meringues, berries and cream aka Eton mess.
Thin slightly with a little boiling water as a coulis for ice cream.
Marmalades
Hand Cut Cumquat
Triple Citrus
Pink Grapefruit
Blood Orange and Ruby Grapefruit
Seville Orange
Coldstream Dark
Mandarin Marmalade
Plus guest appearances of other varieties when we find some really exceptional fruit.
Whether you like your marmalade sweet, sour or bitter, we have something to suit all taste buds. Our marmalades are thick with fruit, as traditionally they should be, but sadly almost never found in commercial brands.
Citrus has a very short picking season and so in August and September we are very busy preparing and making an entire year’s worth of marmalade. To this end we sometimes fall a little short of some stock in May and June (we are currently looking at purchasing a crystal ball), but marmalade lovers rest assured, you will only ever eat Australian citrus fruit under our label.
Things that go with marmalade….
Use as a glaze for ham or a butterflied leg of lamb - just add a pinch of ginger powder and cover generously, remembering to baste often.
Spread on a bread and butter pudding (along with the butter).
Do it Pommy style and have it on a crumpet.
Stir through ice cream - the Coldstream Dark Marmalade is wickedly good like this.
Add a good spoonful to deglaze a pan after cooking lamb chops.
Relishes
Tomato and Red Capsicum
Beetroot and Orange
It would appear no commercial brand of preserves adheres to any hard and fast rules when it comes to categorising their products as a relish, chutney or pickle.
Traditionally a relish is more like a sauce than a chutney, with a more savoury flavour. Our relishes are both a little on the sweet side with loads of subtle spices and secret ingredients. All our savoury products are made in slightly larger batches than our sweet preserves, but they are still handmade with the same meticulous attention to flavour and detail.
Our Tomato and Capsicum Relish is a lovely red colour. It has a nice bitey tang, but it is certainly not hot and therefore is a perfect ‘safe’ gift. We’re quite proud to acknowledge we have caused hundreds of people to become addicted to this product. Don’t leave home without it!
Onto the gorgeous Beetroot and Orange Relish and all we can really say is the flavour and texture match its wonderful colour. This product strikes a balance between the earthiness of beetroot and the tartness of orange and finishes with a tiny chilli hit.

Chutneys & Pickles
Pear and Raisin Chutney
Peach and Ginger Chutney
Mango and Pineapple Chutney
Peppered Apple and Lemon Chutney
Green Tomato Pickle
Put very simply, a chutney is a mixture of fruit and/or vegetables cooked slowly with sugar, vinegar and spices until a thick, pulpy texture is achieved with both sweet and sour flavours. Unlike chutney, a pickle tends to have larger, or even whole pieces of vegetable or fruit and has a more savoury taste.
Our range of chutneys and pickles contain a unique blend of spices to help enhance the true flavours of the very best available fruit and vegetables.

You may well ask “What makes these products so ‘special’ when all Cunliffe & Water’s products are exactly that?” Good question! I’m sure you’re getting the gist by now that our products are intensively hand made, and this range tends to be more so. Coupled with some fairly gorgeous raw materials and the larger 300ml jar, our Black Label Range is slightly more expensive, but oh so worth it.
