Founded in 2015, Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams has gone from strength to strength. Having met decades earlier while studying Fine Art, Joan and Bob decided to pursue their passion for preserving foods. 

Their expertise in jam-making is rooted in their respective farming backgrounds and the traditional skills passed down from their mothers. The company prides itself on crafting preserves in small batches, employing a slow cooking method that enhances each ingredient’s flavour. Breaking somewhat with tradition, they decided to innovate by creating unique and contemporary flavours, such as ‘Strawberry, Peach & Prosecco’, ‘Raspberry & Vanilla,’ and ‘Fig and Orange for Cheese’ (their top seller). Spurred on by their success, they expanded their range, and delved into the world of cordials, chutneys, pesto, and sauces, which are now firm favourites in cupboards and pantries right across the country. 

As a nod to Joan and Bob’s artistic backgrounds, each label features Joan’s original drawings and watercolours. Years spent foraging for seasonal fruits and a deep passion for food is reflected in the intricate images that adorn each jar and bottle, making them just that extra bit special. 

Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams have achieved notable success, including being accepted into the SuperValu Food Academy, an initiative that supports small and emerging food producers in Ireland. This opportunity has allowed them to expand their reach and bring their products to local communities, promoting the ‘Shop Local’ ethos. Joan and Bob’s Juicy Jams prides itself on being part of an incredible community of Irish food producers. Shop local and savour the flavour and creativity packed into every jar of Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams!

Story of the Producers

  • Joan and Bobs

    Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams is a range of handmade preserves.  Bob and I are a husband and wife team who have a combined passion for preserving, skills we learned from our mothers.  who turned all the wild fruits, apples and berries grown on the family farms into the most memorable and delicious jams. So since we got together at age 19 we have always been dabbling with preserving making jams, jellies, chutneys, ciders, beer wine and even champagne was added to the list. In 2011- 2012  Bob and I both lost our jobs due to the recession .We dusted ourselves off and decided to come up with a plan to make ends meet.  We thought this was an ideal time to combine our passion for preserving and Joan & Bob’s Juicy Jams was born. .At home  in our kitchen in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, Ireland, we create and make all of our own unique recipes and flavour combinations. Alongside the creative process, we also complete the journey of the product; all the potting up, labelling, marketing and deliveries are done by ourselves. We are both qualified Fine Art Painters with 25 years experience exhibiting our art, we use this to our advantage by applying this experience in the design process for our unique packaging,  we hand-tie colour coded ribbons on all our products and all the labels feature our own pen drawings and designs and recipe sugestions to recreate that nostalgic homemade look for your larder. We also photograph all the preserves ourselves and update and advertise our Facebook/ twitter business page. We grow and harvest a lot of our own fruit and collect and freeze all the wild berries used in the jams.
