Ever wonder what to do with all those tomatoes? How about the epic number of beets your neighbor just gifted you? Or just want to Do-It-Yourself and make your own berry jam to enjoy in the dark days of winter? In this workshop we will talk about the basics of safe produce preservation using the hot water bath method of preservation. You’ll get to taste some yummy home canned goodies, and we’ll make a batch of home canned jam together. You will come away with a knowledge needed to can the season’s abundance safely and have a list of resources to consult for further learning.
