Description

An unusual looking fruit which dates back to Roman times. Rough-skinned, misshapen, and practically inedible as fresh fruit, the cooked juice of the medlar takes on a rich burgundy colour and the flavour of spiced apples.

Picked in November, it is the very last crop to be harvested at Tiptree. The fruit is not ripe until it is bletted, that’s when the soft brown pulp can be squeezed from the skin.

Complements cold meats and cheese, adds a rich gloss to gravy or is a delicious base for an apple pie.

The Wilkin family have been farming at Tiptree, Essex, since 1757, and making quality preserves there since 1885.

About Us

Our History

Our History

The ‘Tiptree’ story begins around the early 1700s with Trewlands, the farm that was later to become the main site for jam-making in the Essex village of Tiptree. Today, there are some 11,000 inhabitants in what may well be the largest village in the country. 
FRUIT

FRUIT

Today, we have a plentiful supply of a huge range of fruits, sometimes in many different varieties too. Yet it wasn’t always that way and thousands of years ago, the very first preserves were created in order to store that goodness for year-round use.

Farming at Tiptree
