Canning Basics Class
We are pleased to present a canning basics class. If you’ve wanted to learn how you can preserve food you’ve grown or purchased for winter meals, here’s your chance.
Our first class will provide you with the basics which you can readily use at home.
The lost art of home food preservation is making a comeback! But what if these skills weren’t passed on to you by gramma and mom? Learn just like you should have – elbow to elbow in the kitchen with an experienced canner! Preserving food can be fun and easy once you know the basics of safety, techniques, and equipment! Learn how to safely water-bath the bounty of the seasons harvest in this ‘hands on’ beginners canning class. Bring an apron and your favorite paring knife, and step-by-step, we’ll work through a batch of whatever is seasonally plentiful.
Class will be at 6 pm (3 hours) on Monday October 7 held at St James Church (76 Federal Street – behind the Church) with parking available.
Tickets are $15 and can be picked up at any one of our 3 markets at the consignment table (Wed at L+M from 12 pm to 4 pm; Friday at Parade Plaza from 10 am to 2 pm; and Saturday at Hodges Square (near Mr. Gs) from 2 pm to 5 pm).
Sign up and/or call 860-439-0016; classes are limited.
