Join master preserver Camilla Wynne of Preservation Society for this fun, hands-on workshop, where you’ll learn how to transform fresh rhubarb, that first lovely harbinger of spring, into a delicious rhubarb jam infused with blood oranges, as well as a tart rhubarb chutney that pairs beautifully with cheeses & meats.
The class covers all the basics of canning jams and chutneys, from selecting your produce to proper sterilization to the use of pectin, and sampling some different styles and flavours. You will leave with a jar of each preserve, ready to tackle any fruit canning project and able to safely modify recipes to your taste. Camilla’s preserving cookbook, Preservation Society Home Preserves, will be available for sale.
In this fun, hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to:
