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.

About the tutor
Yvette Henderson
Although I have no formal training in food. Growing up, my family life was all traditional cooking and passing skills form one generation to the next. I am a keen baker and regularly bake on a Monday night for the folks I work with in advertising. I too feel strongly about the need to preserve food and reduce food waste. I have joined Lisa since 2018 running CWA workshops to pass on these skills.
