A cheeky twist on a Kiwi classic, this gin-infused plum preserve is as playful as it is luxurious.
Discover the playful sophistication of Pepler’s Drunk Doris Plum Preserve, crafted from Central Otago’s prized Black Doris Plums. Each plump, juicy fruit is first steeped in gin, infusing the preserve with a subtle depth and complexity that elevates its natural sweetness. Warming spices create a harmonious balance, resulting in a sweet-tart flavour that delights the senses and adds a touch of mischief to any dish.
Perfect for those who love to experiment in the kitchen, this preserve is as versatile as it is indulgent. From elevating your breakfast toast to adding flair to cheese boards, glazes, and desserts, it brings a gourmet touch to everyday meals. Its sophisticated sweetness pairs beautifully with both sweet and savoury dishes, making it a standout addition to any pantry.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet brunch at home, Drunk Doris Plum Preserve adds an element of fun and elegance. Imagine wrapping a wheel of creamy brie in tinfoil, topping it with the preserve, baking it to melty perfection, then sprinkling it with chopped nuts and fresh grapes. Or swirl a spoonful into your morning yogurt for a fruity, boozy twist that sets the tone for your day.

Pepler’s has been crafting delicious, hand-made condiments for over four decades. Founded in the early 1980s by June and Colin Pepler in Te Kauwhata, the business began with homemade jams from their orchard, sold roadside before moving to a store on Te Kauwhata’s main street.
In 2017, Cambridge couple Paul and Jane Menneer began sharing their passion for bold, small-batch condiments through The Cambridge Picklery, creating vibrant flavours like maharani chutney, beetroot and orange chutney, and sesame rayu using produce from their own garden. In 2021, they acquired Pepler’s, combining their love of innovative flavours with Pepler’s heritage of locally made, high-quality products.
Today, Pepler’s produces around 100 condiments by hand, using locally grown ingredients. Products are available online, from the Te Kauwhata store, and through wholesalers supplying gift shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and fine food establishments across New Zealand.
