Preserves & Spreads

Tiptree preserves and spreads are products made by Wilkin & Sons Ltd., a British company known for its high-quality jams, marmalades, and fruit preserves. The company, based in Tiptree, Essex, England, has been in operation since 1885 and is renowned for its commitment to using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients in its products.

Tiptree preserves are typically made from whole fruits or berries, sugar, and sometimes pectin, which is a natural thickening agent derived from fruits. The fruits used in Tiptree preserves are often sourced locally whenever possible, ensuring freshness and flavor. These preserves are cooked slowly in small batches to preserve the natural taste and texture of the fruit.

Tiptree spreads are similar to preserves but may have a slightly different consistency. They are made from fruit puree or crushed fruit blended with sugar to create a smooth, spreadable texture. These spreads may also include additional ingredients such as spices or flavorings to enhance their taste.

Both Tiptree preserves and spreads come in a wide variety of flavors, including traditional options like strawberry, raspberry, and orange marmalade, as well as more unique combinations like apricot and armagnac or blackcurrant and sloe gin. They are commonly enjoyed on toast, scones, crackers, or as ingredients in desserts and baked goods.

Tiptree products are known for their premium quality, and the company has received numerous awards and accolades for its preserves and spreads over the years. They are widely available in supermarkets, specialty food stores, and online retailers, both in the UK and internationally.
