Beginning Canning Workshop: Jams, Jellies, Preserves and Applesauce

Instructor: Tabitha Stroup, Friend in Cheeses Jam Company

One of the greatest breakfast joys is spreading a dab of homemade jam over a piece of hot toast—or is it jelly over a muffin? Or preserves over a scone? How about some applesauce with your yogurt? Whatever the answer is for you, we have the demo that will transform your favorite fruit into a delicious treat! We will cover the essentials of fruit selection, preparation and preservation methods (specifically waterbath canning), recipes, and proper sanitation.

Come enjoy the monthly "Of Course I Can!" workshops about cheese making, preserving, pickling, and canning at the Aptos Farmers Market, hosted and sponsored by Mountain Feed and Farm Supply! Not only will you learn about food preservation that our grandparents took for granted, you will be able to pick up all the supplies you need! Make the Aptos Farmers Market your one-stop-shop for all of your canning supplies this summer!
