Summer Preserving workshops, Fri 5th, Sat 6th & Sun 7th July 2013

In partnership with Riverford, the lovely organic veg box people, I offer seasonal preserving workshops. We cover all the basics of preserving fruits and vegetables and together we make five you can take home.

You'll learn about sterilising jars, using sugar, salt and vinegar correctly as preservatives, reaching ‘setting point’ for jams and jellies, safe bottling and more. Class sizes are kept small and very hands-on. As well as your filled jars, there are recipes and guidance notes to take home.

At the Summer workshops we will make:
Strawberry & rhubarb jam
Bread & butter pickles
Spicy courgette chutney
Bottled brandied summer fruits
Gooseberry curd

The exact menu may change slightly nearer the time when we know what produce the fields will be yielding!

“I greatly enjoyed the workshop. I thought there was the right combination of instruction, hands on experience and nice people. The lunch provided was delicious.”
