Canning Intensive: Preserving Late Summer

A combination of hands-on cooking and demonstration. Participants will take home jars of all in-class concoctions.

Learn to preserve with Sean Timberlake. In this 4-hour course, we'll identify varietals and taste late summer fruits and vegetables suitable for preserving at home. Then, we'll tackle canning across the preserving spectrum; the menu is dependent on produce availability. We'll top off our adventure with hearty bites and a glass of something delicious.
