The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Fettercairn-based small business, Mearns Marmalade, which was a finalist in the category of Best New Product for a Small Business at the North East Scotland Food and Drink Awards on 8 June 2023; understands that Mearns Marmalade is an award-winning, small batch artisan preserves maker, who uses fresh, local ingredients; notes that the product chosen for the award, Mearns Marmalade’s Orange and Chilli Marmalade, is a classic Seville orange marmalade with tender shred, and combines slivers of red chilli rings for a gentle heat, and a hint of ginger for warmth and depth of flavour; understands that the product won a gold medal in the 2022 World Marmalades Awards and was declared a "Fortnum’s Choice", which is chosen by Fortnum & Mason to sell at their flagship Piccadilly store in London, and congratulates all nominees and winners for showcasing the best of the north east’s thriving food and drink sector.
