Quince Apple Butter

A rich, velvety orchard butter inspired by one of the world’s oldest fruits.

Quinces have been cultivated for thousands of years, treasured across Asia and the Mediterranean. The Greeks and Romans prized them, poets wrote about them, and some believe they were the “golden apple” of myth. It’s a fruit with deep history — and one that rewards patience.

Fruit butters follow that same tradition: slow-cooked preserves made without added pectin, relying on time and gentle heat to transform fruit into something deeper and more luxurious than jam. Quinces are perfectly suited to this; their natural perfume and high pectin yield a smooth, almost custard-like texture when cooked low and slow.

This Quince Apple Butter is made from our Vranja quinces, Bramley and Katy apples, and small Butterball crab apples for a bright, layered orchard flavour. We add organic Verna lemons and Valencia oranges from our adopted citrus trees in Spain, sourced through the CrowdFarming platform, connecting us with small-scale Mediterranean growers. It is sweetened with organic Colombian raw cane sugar and Tara Hill blossom honey and gently warmed with cloves, coriander seed, and a touch of Wexford sea salt.

The result is a glossy, golden butter — floral, softly spiced, and quietly elegant.

Spread on warm buttered toast or soda bread, swirl through porridge, or spoon over pancakes, waffles, or rice pudding. It sits just as comfortably on a cheeseboard or alongside an antipasti platter.

Presented in a 165g glass WECK jar as a Gift Box Edition, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and finished in our signature black box.
