Preserving for Holidays and Gift Giving
North Coast Food Web is partnering with OSU Master Food Preservers to bring a food preservation series of workshops to Astoria! There was a time when knowledge of food preservation methods was common and passed down through the generations. Today, however, there is a lot of confusion, bad information, and hesitation around canning and food preserving. We are here to de-mystify this process.
About the class
Do you love sharing your harvest with family and friends? Do you want to feel assured you are producing safe, quality products for gifting? This class will help you to feel confident in producing extra special preserved jars of fruits and fruit products. Students will learn safe and successful methods of making jams and jellies and other great seasonal specialties. Think Cranberries and Apples and late season fruits! Learn the science behind water bath canning and get some great, tested recipes for amazing products that you can proudly share during the holidays. Students will have classroom and hands-on instruction with water bath canning and be presented with safe recipe sources.
Who Should Attend?
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this class is perfect for anyone interested in learning how to preserve their own food. It's a fantastic way to make the most of your harvest and groceries, as well as a practical skill that increases resiliency in the face of food scarcity and climate disruption.
About the instructors
Our expert instructors will guide you through each step of the water bath canning process. You'll get hands-on experience, plus plenty of tips and tricks to help you can with confidence. Don't miss out as spaces are quite limited!
