Canning the Sweet Stuff

With all the abundance happening in local gardens, it's a great time to think about preserving some of the harvest now and into the fall.

The Local Food in the Kitchen workshop series is a great opportunity to learn more, or explore other alternatives, to food preservation. Our first session, Foraging & Dehydrating, was a blast last week, and this week we're moving on to CANNING THE SWEET STUFF. We'll cover methods and fun ideas for canning fruit butters, jams, jellies, and whole fruit preserves. With samples you'll take home, this workshop is not only fun and educational, but yummy and very worth your while!

It's so great to spend time together in the kitchen...a natural extension from the garden.
