Join us on July 27 as we demystify pickle making – it’s more than just cucumbers!
Short on time but long on harvest? Learn how simple it is to preserve your bountiful haul with quick pickles. We’ll create two different brines and then explore the various homegrown items you can pickle and the many delicious and unusual uses for quick pickles. They’re not just for sandwiches. We’ll also discuss knife skills and you’ll get to put them to work. Quick Pickling!
Learn the basics of water bath canning, including what makes a safe canning environment, what foods can be safely canned, and the basic equipment needed. Put this information into practice through the hands-on making of peach jam during the workshop on July 23. Each participant will leave with a half pint of peach jam made during the session! Space is limited, register today!
