DIY Citrus Marmalade: Seasonal Preserving with Shakirah Simley
Marmalade season is upon us! Backyard trees and farmer's markets are exploding with a plethora of beautiful citrus, and it's time to preserve it for the year ahead. Join Pollinate Farm & Garden as we welcome expert preserver and Bi-Rite Market's Canner-in-Residence, Shakirah Simley for a hands-on class as we tackle one of the trickiest preserves best done in a friendly group! Over 3 hours we'll chop and juice, slice and simmer until we get lovely jars of tart and sweet fruit.
We'll start with a citrus tasting to learn the best types for preserving and then get to work on preparing, cooking and jarring a commercial pectin-free marmalade. We'll also enjoy a seasonal snack during our Q&A break. Participants will take home recipe packets, samples of our in-class concoctions and a boost of canning confidence. Bring a sharp knife, apron, closed toe shoes and canning questions (and a friend!).
