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.

The rolling boil method is regarded as the only effective way to produce a traditional preserve and this is done be using steam heated copper-bottomed open pans where the fruit and sugar is slowly boiled allowing the natural pectin and acids to be released before gradually setting.

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!
