Black Mountains Preserves

Londis is stocking a new range of local jams, so I bought some today (what an exciting life I lead!).
When I got the Spiced Plum jam home, I looked up the website on the label.
Black Mountains Preserves was originally started by Merlin and Vaughan, who grew fruit in their garden in Talgarth and made it into jam. They supplied The Bakers' Table at Felin Talgarth Mill.
Last year they retired, and passed the jam pot on to Helen, who runs a nearby B&B, Tegfan Garden Suite, which is a self-contained converted Victorian greenhouse. She also has a garden full of fruit (and veg), and has re-launched the brand with new labels and a website shop at www.blackmountainspreserves.com
As well as the jams, she does marmalade, chutneys and mint sauce.
