Washington's most perfect fruit

​

Tin Pail features Washington-grown fruit at its peak, grown by sustainable farms that are certified organic or use organic practices. The citrus we use is certified organic and grown in the US.

Small batches = big flavor

​

Cooking in small batches lets us bring our conserves to the setting point quickly without adding commercial pectin, thus concentrating the flavor without overcooking. Making conserves this way is labor intensive, but worth it!

​

Why conserves and not jam?

​

It looks like jam, it tastes like jam, it must be jam, right? Well, not according to the FDA. According to them, jam and preserves must contain at least 65% sugar, and we don’t even come close! Our conserves are plenty sweet, but the non-GMO cane sugar we use plays a supporting role, letting the flavor of the fruit shine through.

Tin Pail's story

​

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of summer days spent playing outside, grazing on wild summer berries. Sometimes, enough fruit made it home for my mother to make her much loved jam.

​

Each year I am seduced by the progression of fruit at my local farmers market, from the very first strawberries in spring to fall’s apples and plums. One day, after another productive day of jam making, I took stock of my overflowing pantry, and decided I either had to make less jam or I had to start sharing it with more people, and so Tin Pail Preserving Company was born.
