About us

 Black Mountains Preserves made in Wales

Nestled in the breathtaking Brecon Beacons National Park, every jar of Black Mountains Preserves is lovingly handmade in small batches of no more than 12. Crafted with Care in the Heart of Wales, using the traditional open-pan method in Helen’s home kitchen, each preserve captures the true essence of the fruit and the spirit of the Welsh mountains.

Just the good stuff!

Our preserves are naturally tangy, bursting with flavour, and lightly sweetened to let the fruit shine. Classic favourites, like Blackcurrant Extra Jam or the zesty Damson & Orange Preserve, highlight the taste of less sugar and more fruit from locally sourced ingredients.

For those seeking adventure on the palate, our World Collection brings globally inspired flavours to your table. Savour the award-winning Moroccan Marmalade, hailed as one of the world’s finest, or experience the tangy twist of Asian Butternut Achar, a pickled delight with a distinctive kick.

Every jar is crafted with patience and care, so availability may vary—contact Helen to find out which flavours are currently in production, if showing sold out.

From luxury gift sets and mini jars to catering sizes, all packaging is sustainably sourced and recyclable. Personalised jars and bespoke gift messages turn these handmade treasures into truly memorable gifts.

Black Mountains Preserves – small batches, big flavours, and a taste of Wales in every jar.
