Canning Workshop at Red Rocket Coffee

To celebrate my book launch, I'm offering a beginners' canning class this coming Sunday, August 14 at Red Rocket Coffee (1402 Queen East, just east of Greenwood). It starts at 3 p.m. and will last two to three hours. I'll be demonstrating a simple berry jam. Everyone will have some hands-on time, and also go home with a jar of jam. It will be a small group, so everyone will have a chance to ask really in-depth questions about canning techniques, safety, recipe developing and how to tell whether your jam has set.

Participants should wear closed-toe shoes (leather or equivalent rather than canvas), and might like to bring an apron, although we will have some on hand. A pen and notebook would be handy too. Everything else will be provided.

The cost is $25, which goes to support the Leslieville Farmer's Market. If you'd like to participate, please email me directly.
