From today until Saturday 10th October the National Trust of Jersey will be creating Black Butter at The Elms.
In 2025 we celebrated this local produce with a set of six stamps! Illustrated by Chris Wormell.
Black butter is a traditional preserve that dates back to the boom of the c***r industry, that once exported up to 150,000 gallons a year. This abundance of apples led to the creation of black butter, which is now a much-loved delicacy for both locals and tourists.
