For 125 years, Tiptree's yummy conserves have been gracing breakfast tables around the UK and beyond. It was back in 1885 that Arthur Charles Wilkin joined with two friends to form the Britannia Fruit Preserving Company, creating a jam free of glucose, colouring and preservatives.
For those out there with an interest in quirky museums and/or the history of jam-making, the Tiptree Museum is an educational and feel good day trip for all ages (not just grannies). And along with the adorable museum (keep your eyes peeled for the random taxidermied 3-legged chick born on the Tiptree farm), there is a lovely tea room for drinks and nibbles. Here you can indulge in the special Tiptree Strawberry Conserve with home made scones and fresh cream, served tea. The sandwiches are equally fresh and tasty and come with a variety of Tiptree chutneys.
If you don't get your jam and chutney fix with lunch, you can also visit the Tiptree shop, where you can purchase your own jars of Tiptree yumminess, including black cherry conserves and hot gooseberry chutney.
