The story of Thursday Cottage Christmas Chutney
The jar that rescues Boxing Day
Christmas dinner gets the applause. Boxing Day does the real work: cold turkey, a wedge of cheese the size of a doorstop, and a fridge door that will not quite shut. That is where a jar of chutney earns its place. If you grew up with a British Christmas, you know the drill. Cold plate, sharp knife, a spoonful on the side, and nobody admitting how many times they went back. This jar carries the Thursday Cottage name, which is a fine start to Christmas in Canada.
Read the full story
It started in an actual cottage
Thursday Cottage was founded in 1963 in a cottage of that name outside Spaxton, Somerset. Honest naming, at least. For many years the business was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin of Lyme Regis, who sold it in 2002. It is now an independent part of the Tiptree group, with production based at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree, Essex, where the range is still handmade. Each boil still produces only about 100 jars. Nobody there is rushing anything.
Friends in very high places
The parent company, Wilkin & Sons Ltd, was established in Tiptree, Essex, in 1885. It has held a Royal Warrant for preserves and marmalades continuously since 1911, and currently holds the Royal Warrant as Purveyors of Tiptree Products to King Charles III. So the people behind your leftover turkey sandwich have a royal connection. You might want to get the good plate out. Possibly even a napkin.
The rest of the shelf
Thursday Cottage specialises in luxury handmade jams, marmalades and curds for the independent trade, and the range has a cheeky streak. There is a Fine Cut Orange Marmalade with Whisky, and a Strawberry Jam with Champagne, which is breakfast behaving as if it has been invited somewhere. The Amaretto Butter is sold as a twist on traditional brandy butter, and there is a handmade Christmas Pudding too. Between them, the British Christmas table is fairly well covered.
