Preserving Your Produce in a Jar at North Fork Specialty Kitchen

Learn simple ways to enjoy the fruits of your labor all year long. Professional jam-and-pickle-maker Jeri Woodhouse, owner of Taste of the North Fork in Cutchogue, will lead us step by step through the process of preserving your own garden bounty. After this class you will know how to prepare fruit and vegetables for canning or pickling, how to prepare a brine, and how to do water-bath canning. We’ll learn about food safety issues involved in the process. The materials fee includes use of the certified kitchen, fruit and veggies to preserve, and jars involved. The best part – everyone takes home a jar of preserves or pickles to eat!
