Sisley’s & Crellow started life in 2003 as a family-run business producing jars of local preserves from a home kitchen in Penzance. In 2012, Sisley’s Cornish Preserves joined forces with another local family business, Crellow, to become Sisley’s & Crellow. Now owned by sisters Laura and Jessica, and Jessica’s partner Jonathan, family and independence remain at the heart of their business. Chef and chieftaste tester, Laura, runs the kitchen in Portreath, cooking up a storm to create new and exciting flavour combinations. Jess and Jonny oversee everything sales and delivery to loyal customers.
Sisleys & Crellow offers a wonderful and wide range of homemade preserves, marmalades, chutneys, mustards and sauces. Something for everybody, find all the classics alongside modern twists such as Sweet Pickled Cucumber, Herb Garden Jelly, Blackberry Vinegar, Marrow & Ginger Preserve and the one that excites us, Orange and Whisky marmalade. Seasonal Cornish ingredients are used as much as possible, and every recipe proudly contains a high fruit and veg content. Every product is handmade, and you won’t find any artificial colours or preservatives, only traditional sugar, vinegar and spices.
This month we featured their new Smokey Chipotle Salsa - winner of a Taste of the West Gold award in 2023 no less. It’s a beautiful salsa, with just enough heat to warm on a cold winter’s night yet not overpower the sweet tomato flavour. Combine all this with a subtle smokiness makes this salsa a perfect accompaniment to corn chips or your taco night at home.
