Fall into Fall: Seasonal Preserving with Shakirah Simley
$80 - Register early and save $5!
Missed our Summer Canning Intensive last month? No worries! We're doing it again - and this time in a beautiful outdoor kitchen! We're taking the heat and fruit prep outside and into the gazebo to enjoy our gorgeous East Bay weather.
On October 19th, "Fall into Fall" with our second preserving course featuring apples, pears, figs and persimmons! In this very hands-on, 3-hour class, Shakirah (founder of Slow Jams and Bi-Rite Market's 'Canner In Residence') will tackle all the tricks to thicker fruit butter, seasonal seasonings and deliciously boozy fruits. We will cover an introduction to canning theory, safety and preserving basics, and you will learn Shakirah's canning secrets for autumnal treats!
As any preserver can attest, October is the time to can fruit so that the flavors develop in time for holiday giving. When it comes to homemade gifts, it's definitely not too early to start your holiday making!
Class participants will receive three (3) hours of hands-on canning instruction, recipes, full jars of everything we make and a boost of canning confidence. We'll also enjoy a delicious hearty snack.
