Gift the joy of homemade preserves this festive season! Join me for a fun filled festive themed workshop where you will learn an array of food preserving methods to make delicious preserves to gift to friends and family, or incorporate into your own menus to enjoy.
In this hands on food preserving workshop, we will work with seasonal produce to make an array of treats that you can gift or enjoy yourself. The techniques learn can then be applied to all kinds of produce throughout the year.
We will make:
Boozy Spiced Cherries (learn the art of bottling fruit)
Apricot Jam (learn the art of jam making)
Bread and Butter Pickles (learn the art of pickling)
Fruit Curd (learn the art of curd-making)
You will prepare all the above items yourself or in groups and take everything you make home.
In addition to making the above goodies, you will also be shown how to water-bath your goods for long term shelf storage - please note, you will need to do this at home after the workshop as they are unable to be disturbed in order to seal properly.
Included in this workshop:
Make and take home your own festive themed preserves
Recipe cards for everything you make, including instructions on how to finish, store and serve your goodies!
All equipment provided, including food grade jars for your goodies and a tote bag to take everything home in
Aprons to wear in class
Small class numbers for individual attention
PLUS taste tests of all the above with a festive themed grazing board to share and enjoy after all your hard work is done
Gain practical skills in preparing various preserved goods, transforming seasonal produce into flavourful condiments and pantry staples. Experience the joy that comes from giving homemade gifts. You'll leave with the confidence and know-how to extend the life of produce, reduce food waste, all whilst embracing traditional skills.
This workshop is suitable for beginners brand new to preserving food, or those who have dabbled but might be lacking in confidence. I will share with you everything I know to get you started on your preserving journey.
