Our Copper Pans
We are one of the very few companies in the world today that still uses the traditional ‘open pan’ slow boiling method of jam making which gives our preserves and marmalades their distinct homemade taste and flavour.

Our steam heated copper pans use a rolling boil method: The fruit and sugar is slowly boiled allowing the flavours to be released before gradually setting.  We take a great deal of care and attention to judge exactly when the product is ready, for the perfect home-cooked flavour.

If you have ever tried in your own kitchen with a supply of chilled saucers, watching and testing for this magic moment, you will appreciate this skill involved in judging it precisely!
