Product Description
The English Stillroom was the housekeeper's domain, where she distilled essences and extracted oils from herbs and flowers to flavor her recipes and made the natural lotions and potions for the household. Lemon curd is a wonderful example of a stillroom product. They are made in small batches, using dairy butter and fresh eggs from the farmer down the road. This Lemon Curd is, perhaps, the best we have tasted, with an intensely lemony flavor that is delicately balanced with the sweetness of sugar and butter.In 1872, Fred Duerr married Mary Eva Naylor, an aspiring home canner. In her small kitchen in Heywood, north Manchester, Mary made jams and marmalades for her husband, family and friends to enjoy. In 1881, Fred met the buyer from the Heywood Co-operative Society, who was experiencing difficulty obtaining jams of high quality. The buyer had heard of Mary's jams, and asked if Fred would consider supplying his society. From that chance meeting the family business was born. In 1890, Duerr's manufacturing levels outgrew their original premises, and Fred commissioned a purpose built factory on Prestage Street, Old Trafford, the site the company still occupies today. Duerr's remains very much a family business, and a member of the Duerr family has sat at the helm of the company since its inception. This has ensured that the traditions so lovingly begun by Mary are adhered to today, with the emphasis on quality ingredients, innovation and manufacturing excellence.
