Jams & Preserves

Course Overview

Learn the art of creating jams and preserves!

In this hands-on workshop, we will go through the fundamentals of jam making, sterilising jars, the equipment required to make preserves along with basic recipes you can easily adapt to different seasonal produce.

We will look at old recipes and convert them to easy-to-manage weights and measures. 

You will make a seasonal jam, and two different styles of pickles: a simple brine pickle and a relish-style pickle.

Seasonal availability will determine the jam and pickles made at the workshop.

Jars will be provided by the tutor.
