The Fundamentals of Jam Making

During our 2008 class session, Preserve will teach classes in the urban backyard food gardens of your instructors.  Not only will you learn the fundamentals of food preservation, but you will also gain access and information into the workings of an urban “farm” given over to the principles of increased organic food production and security. All classes are limited to eight students.

Learn the basics of jam and jelly making.  Class includes information on necessary canning equipment, instructions on making and using natural pectin, fruit selection, elements of the “set” (why your jam jams), and hands-on experience for making and canning small-batch jam.  You will receive printed material and a jar or your own home-made jam to take home.  This three hour session will give you confidence in making your own jam creation and give you access to additional phone consultation with your instructor should you need it.
