Class Description: If you’ve dreamed of making your own preserves and pickles but don’t know where to begin, join us for this fun, hands-on class. Our instructor will introduce you to the equipment you’ll need and walk you step by step through canning essentials, from filling and sealing jars to the water bath process. Working alongside classmates, you’ll practice creating flavorful sweet and savory preserves using recipes from the America’s Test Kitchen Foolproof Preserving cookbook. After mastering a few basics, you’ll look forward to preserving the fresh flavors of summer to enjoy all year long.
