Llysdinam, Newbridge-on-Wye
It’s been a bumper year for garden produce in most parts of the country.
While there’s nothing better than enjoying a fresh tomato or raspberry straight from the plant, it’s great to preserve produce in compotes, jams, jellies and chutneys or to bake them into delicious cakes or soups.
