About Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set

About Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set

Toast is only ever an excuse. The Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set is the reason.

Three small jars of proper British preserve, the kind that sat on the table at a seaside B&B and talked you into a second slice you had no room for. Spread it thick, then pretend you did not.

Three jars also means three arguments about which one gets opened first. Or one very good present for someone who misses a British breakfast table and will not say so out loud.

It is the UK set, and it ships from within Canada, so the hardest part is deciding if you are really going to give it away.

Frequently asked questions about Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set

Q: Is it a good gift?

A: It is about as safe a present as there is. It comes as a boxed set of three, so it looks the part, and nobody has ever been disappointed to be handed jam.

Q: How big is the set?

A: Three jars, 336g in all. Enough to try each one properly, not so much that the last jar is still lurking in the cupboard next year.

Q: What goes well with it?

A: Toast, scones and a strong cup of tea, in roughly that order. Shortbread works too, if you are the sort who puts jam on everything.

More about Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set

Jam sits right in the middle of British food. It goes on the morning toast, into the middle of a Victoria sponge and on top of a scone, with the cream-or-jam-first argument starting the moment the plate lands.

Most people who look for this set in Canada are after one of two things. A gift for a British mum, dad or neighbour who still talks about proper afternoon tea, or a small bit of home for their own breakfast table. Both are good reasons. One of them involves less wrapping paper.

The set holds three jars, 336g between them, which is small enough to work through all three without anyone getting bored. The jars keep in the cupboard until you open one, and the box makes it an easy thing to give without fuss.

It sits happily alongside the rest of a British tea: a box of proper tea bags, a packet of shortbread, a scone mix for a slow Sunday. Put it next to any of those and you have more or less recreated a café in the Cotswolds, minus the drizzle.

The story of Thursday Cottage Deluxe Preserve Trio Gift Set

Toast, but taken seriously

Toast is only ever as good as what goes on it, and you already know that. Thursday Cottage is the jar from the proper breakfast table: the one at your gran's with the lid a bit sticky, the knife left standing in it by someone who will deny it to the end. Spot one of these on a shelf over here and you go quiet for a second. Then you start working out where to hide it from the rest of the house.

Read the full story

It started with a cottage called Thursday

The name is not a whimsy. Thursday Cottage was founded in 1963 in a cottage of that name outside Spaxton, Somerset, which is about as English as an origin story gets without a cream tea attached. For many years the business was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin of Lyme Regis, who sold it in 2002. Plenty of small names vanish after a change of hands. This one carried on, and kept its manners.

A hundred jars at a time

Thursday Cottage is now an independent part of the Tiptree group, with production at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree, Essex, where the range is still handmade. Each boil still produces only about 100 jars. That is not a factory line. That is a pan and someone paying attention. The parent, Wilkin & Sons Ltd, was established in Tiptree in 1885 and has held a Royal Warrant for preserves and marmalades continuously since 1911. Your toast is in good company.

Made for the shop on the corner

Thursday Cottage specialises in luxury handmade jams, marmalades and curds for the independent trade, so it was always more of a little-shop find than a big-shop staple. The range has a cheeky side too: a Fine Cut Orange Marmalade with Whisky, and a Strawberry Jam with Champagne. Breakfast, dressed for later in the day. Nobody at the table has ever complained.
