About me

Hello! My name is Anita Joubert.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved spending time in my kitchen, turning fresh ingredients into something special for the people I care about. As a result of this passion, my love for making fig preserves and various kinds of jams grew as a way to share a little piece of my heart.
Over the years, it became a tradition—family and friends always looked forward to their jars of my homemade treats. Moreover, their smiles made every moment in the kitchen worth it.
After hearing “You should sell these!” more times than I can count, I finally decided to take a leap of faith. Consequently, what began as a simple hobby has now become Anita’s Kitchen—a way to share my preserves with even more people who appreciate the love and care that goes into every jar.
I still use the same recipes and methods I’ve relied on for years, ensuring every batch has the finest ingredients and a personal touch. Furthermore, I source fruits locally to support sustainability. You can learn more about the benefits of eating local and how it helps communities and the environment.
Ultimately, I hope my preserves bring a little sweetness to your table and remind you, as they remind me, of the joy in sharing something made with love.
