Description

Quince is a most unusual fruit, about the size and shape of a large misshapen pear with yellow fluffy skin.

When cooked with sugar, the quince takes on a character all of its own, to create this delightful conserve. During processing of whole quinces at Tiptree, the implement used to de-core the quinces is called a 'Plonker'.

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

We grow a wide range of traditional English fruits and use them to make conserves and condiments in our nut-free factory by the farm.

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.
