Black Butter Making
Embrace the community spirit and participate in the ancient art of making Black Butter which takes place over three days at The Elms, the headquarters of the National Trust for Jersey. Apples grown for cider were once Jersey's main crop. Today fewer cider apples are grown but the making of black butter (Le Nièr Beurre) carries on.

More Information
Come along and peel apples, which are then cooked in a large copper pan or ‘bachin’ over an open fire or help to stir the mixture which is cooked until dawn. The event culminates in a produce market where the freshly made Black Butter is put into jars and sold, which will take place on Saturday 08 October.
