Blackberry and Apple Jam

Homemade blackberry and apple jam from the village of Westonzoyland is a true taste of the Somerset countryside. Made with handpicked blackberries from the hedgerows and crisp local apples, it balances deep, fruity richness with a gentle tartness. The berries give the jam its deep purple hue and fragrant sweetness, while the apples add a smooth texture and a touch of brightness.

Slowly cooked in small batches, this traditional preserve captures the flavour of late summer and early autumn — a blend of wild and homegrown fruit that reflects the landscape around Westonzoyland. Delicious on fresh bread, scones, or with farmhouse cheese, it’s a comforting, homemade reminder of rural life and seasonal abundance.
