Thursday Cottage was started in 1963 in a cottage of the same name outside Spaxton, Somerset. For many years, the business was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin from Lyme Regis, until they sold it to us in 2002. The production unit is now based at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree in the Essex countryside where we still make a variety of handmade jams, marmalades and curds.
The ingredients, the open pan cooking and the distinctive taste and character of Thursday Cottage products has changed little from the time when the company was based in the West Country, over fifty years ago. We take great care in choosing the best ingredients and use a variety of traditional and unusual fruits such as greengages (Greengage Jam), pink grapefruit (Pink Grapefruit Marmalade) and rhubarb (Rhubarb with Stem Ginger Jam).
All of our products are made in small batches and we fill the jars by hand when we can because you get more whole fruit in the product this way, which means a more hearty and fruity taste. The hard work and effort consistently put in by our small team here has been reflected in recent years by the gold awards that Thursday Cottage products have received at the Great Taste Awards.

Our recent branding as 'reduced sugar' has given us the opportunity to change the sweetening agent from fructose to cane sugar (from 1/3/2016), which gives a slightly less sweet taste allowing a fuller fruit flavour to come through.
We are keeping all other ingredients the same and continue to produce all of our products to the highest quality.
With much less sugar than traditionally made preserves, they are enjoyed by those who like a less sweet jam as well as those who need them for dietary or health reasons.
