- Mercer's of Yorkshire are celebrating after winning the title of Best Sweet Preserve at the Deliciouslyorkshire Awards – for the second year running
Its Strawberry Conserve beat an array of other local producers in their category. The judges said the superior colour, consistency and flavour of Mercer’s jam gave it the edge over the rest of the entrants.
Lizzie Mercer, who owns Mercer’s of Yorkshire with her husband Paul, said, “We’re delighted to have been named the winner of the Best Sweet Preserve category for a second time – this really is as good as it gets.
“As a family-run business, we really do put our heart and soul into the preserves and continuously strive for perfection, so it’s fantastic that our passion and hard work has been recognised.”
The seventh annual Deliciouslyorkshire Awards is held to showcase and celebrate the best of Yorkshire’s food and drink industry.
The ceremony was held at the Rudding Park Hotel, in Harrogate.
