Baked in pies, mulled into cider or stirred for hours to create Jersey’s famous black butter – however you like to savour them, apples are a sure sign that autumn is on its way.

Celebrate the new season with this pick of events happening in Jersey, perfect for apple and cider lovers.
Jams and jellies competition
From the ‘Douces Dames’ and ‘Belles Filles’ to the ‘Gros Pigeonnet’ and ‘Museau d’Boeuf’ – Jersey’s traditional apple varieties certainly have some weird and wonderful names. But whatever pick you can get your hands on, turn them into a delicious preserve and you could be the cream of the crop in the National Trust for Jersey’s apple preserves competition.
There are six classes to choose from (including apple jam, apple jelly, apple pie and apple cake) and entries are open to all ages. There is an additional children’s category for decorated apple-shaped biscuits.
