"Not too sweet, not too tart."

Damsons—tart, deep blue fruits first cultivated in Damascus—are wonderfully ideal for jam making. And Thursday Cottage makes the most wonderful jams! They specially select whole fruit and then cook it in open pans using a small batch, artisanal approach. Spread this jam on fresh bread and toast, or try adding some to your morning oatmeal or yogurt. Not too sweet, not too tart—juuust right...

Thursday Cottage was started in a kitchen in Somerset, England in 1963. Though they are now located in Essex, nothing much has changed since then—the ingredients are the best they can find and the recipes are simple and delicious. Fresh ingredients are stirred by hand, and they still hand-pour the jars when they can because they believe it makes a better product. Lovely!
