The Baker's Secret Ingredient

Jack's Cream of Tartar is a natural ingredient derived from grapes that's essential for perfect meringues, fluffy baked goods, and countless kitchen applications.

It's the versatile ingredient that every baker needs in their pantry.

Perfect for Meringues

Cream of tartar is legendary for meringues—add it to egg whites while beating, and it stabilizes them, creating stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape. Without cream of tartar, meringues can weep or collapse. It's the secret to perfect meringue pies, pavlovas, and meringue cookies.

Essential for Baking

Cream of tartar works with baking soda to create leavening—when combined, they create the same effect as baking powder. Use 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to replace 1 teaspoon baking powder. This is perfect when you're out of baking powder or want to control the leavening.

Prevents Sugar Crystallization

Cream of tartar prevents sugar from crystallizing—add a pinch when making candy, frostings, or syrups, and it keeps the sugar smooth and prevents graininess. It's essential for making perfect fudge, caramel, and fondant.

Beyond Baking

Cream of tartar has uses beyond baking—use it to clean copper and brass, remove stains from porcelain, or make homemade playdough. The natural acid is gentle yet effective for household cleaning tasks.

Easy to Use

For meringues, use 1/8 teaspoon per egg white. For leavening, combine 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to replace 1 teaspoon baking powder. For candy making, add a pinch to prevent crystallization.
