These fun, interactive workshops will equip you to easily and safely make your own fermented foods and preserves. They are suitable for complete beginners, but experienced preservers of food will also learn lots and meet like minded people.
The day.
After a brief introduction over a cuppa from 10am, we will put our aprons on and together preserve some beautiful organic produce! You will learn the theory and have hands-on experience of making, we will also explain how to get the most out of your preserves to enhance everyday meals. Plenty of samples to taste and a light lunch are included. Please let us know in advance of any dietary or accessibility requirements. There will be a Q&A session too, which will be joined by a microbiologist, so if you want to know more about other methods of preservation, or tips for fermenting other foods, this is the perfect opportunity. The workshop finishes at 3pm.
What's included
The produce, equipment and guidance you need, a light lunch, drinks and samples to taste, are all included. There will be an information sheet to take home. Just bring some clean jars if you want to take your produce home. This not-for-profit community class is led by experienced tutors. We keep the price as low as possible because we believe that food preservation is a valuable life skill that everyone who wants to should be able to access.
