At Ronchard, we believe great jam starts with honest ingredients and the time to do things properly. Every batch is handcrafted using fresh produce and slowly cooked to develop bold, natural flavour without relying on artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. We don't rush the process—we make our jams the traditional way, with attention to every detail, so every jar delivers a rich, authentic taste that's made to be shared.
What started with just my wife and I has grown into something much bigger than making jam. We set out to build a business that would create a lasting legacy for our three children, one founded on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to quality. Every jar we make reflects those values and the belief that good food brings people together. As Ronchard continues to grow, our goal remains the same: to craft products we're proud to put on our own family table and yours.
This is where it all began.
Before there was Ronchard, there was one jar of Mango Jam, a lot of enthusiasm, and absolutely no idea what we were doing! We made the jam first, figured out the rest afterwards, and somehow it all worked out.
Handcrafted in small batches using ripe mangoes and honest ingredients, it's a reminder that every great journey starts with a single step... or in our case, a single jar.
Sweet, fruity, and full of tropical flavour, our Mango Jam is a little taste of Sri Lanka in every spoonful. Perfect on warm toast, fresh bread, pancakes, or paired with creamy cheese for a simple yet delicious treat.
Some ideas sound brilliant... others sound completely mad.
When I suggested turning chillies into a jam, let's just say my wife wasn't convinced. We had a friendly debate about whether anyone would actually buy it. I have a habit of coming up with slightly crazy ideas, and this one definitely made the list.
Thankfully, curiosity won. We gave it a go, and what started as one of my "mad ideas" quickly became Ronchard's best-selling product. Turns out, sometimes the craziest ideas are the ones worth making.
Bold, sweet, and packed with flavour, our Chilli Jam is incredibly versatile. It is a favourite on a cheese board, pairs beautifully with crackers and cold cuts, adds a kick to sandwiches and burgers, and can turn an ordinary meal into something memorable.

Some things are simply too special to have all year round.
That's why our Christmas in a Jar only makes its appearance when the festive season arrives. Handcrafted with a blend of seasonal fruits, fragrant spices, and a generous helping of Christmas spirit, it's our way of bottling the magic of the holidays.
You'll have to wait until Christmas to get your hands on a jar—but we promise, it's a tradition worth waiting for.
At Ronchard, we love taking familiar ingredients and creating something a little unexpected. Some of our best ideas come from asking, “What if we tried this?”
Our Pumpkin Jam is the perfect example. Originally launched as a limited-edition Halloween special in 2024, it was a flavour that made people curious… and a little unsure! Pumpkin in a jam? Many wondered what to expect. But after the first taste, it quickly became a favourite and earned its place as a permanent part of our collection.
A unique blend of sweet pumpkin, warming spices, and a refreshing citrus twist from orange and lime, this jam brings together comforting, seasonal flavours with a surprising tangy finish. It is a little different, a little adventurous, and proof that sometimes the most unexpected combinations create something truly special.
Sometimes the flavours you least expect turn out to be the ones you love the most.
When people hear Carrot Marmalade, they usually raise an eyebrow—and that's exactly why we had to make it. Most people think of oranges when they hear the word marmalade, so we thought, "Why not challenge expectations?"
Fun fact: I was so convinced this idea was going to work that I designed the label before we'd even perfected the recipe... or done a proper taste test! Thankfully, the marmalade turned out every bit as good as I'd imagined (otherwise, that would have been a very expensive label!).
With its naturally sweet carrots, bright citrus notes, gentle warmth of ginger and spices, and a smooth, refreshing finish, it's a marmalade that surprises in all the right ways.
A little unexpected, a little adventurous, and proof that sometimes the craziest ideas become the ones people love the most.
