Oxford Marmalade

Oxford Marmalade

Oxford Marmalade is a brand name of Frank Cooper, originally a British Oxford-based company that made marmalades and jams. There are also recipes for homemade Oxford Marmalade.

History

Sarah Cooper (1848–1932) made her first batch of marmalade in 1874. She was the wife of Frank Cooper, whose shop at 83–84 High Street, Oxford was the origin of the Frank Cooper jam business. There is now a blue plaque, installed on 10 October 2001, at 83 High Street, that commemorates Sarah Cooper.

A factory was established in 1903, based in Oxford near the railway station, to make Oxford Marmalade, which was especially popular with dons and students at Oxford University.

Oxford Marmalade was taken to Antarctica on Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the South Pole. Much later, a jar was found buried in the ice.

The Oxford Marmalade brand continues. It carried the Royal Warrant and is now owned by Premier Foods.
