as it gives the most even temperature. This slow cooking method - PDF document

Mackays has built a reputation for Taste, Provenance and Tradition. At the heart of our taste is the Scottish soft fruits which we use in every jar of our strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant jam We work directly with our local fruit farmers who have decades of experience producing the finest Scottish soft fruit. Our products are ‘made the authentic way’ as we remain true to our heritage. We take pride in cooking our delicious jams and marmalades in traditional open copper pans. We use copper because it’s the best metal for conducting heat as it gives the most even temperature. This slow cooking method allows the flavours of the fruits to be released slowly. We are based in the Dundee area which is the home of marmalade and we are proud to be the custodians of this world-renowed icon. The secret to our award=winning marmalades is that we source all our bitter oranges from Seville, Spain. As well as our vast variety of marmalades and preserves, Mackays also has an ever-growing range of chutneys and relishes. The overwhelming feedback from our consumers is that they love what we are doing just as much as we do. We have achieved this by continually delivering great tasting products, underpinned by our provenance and traditional cooking methods and dedication to our costumers.
