Have you ever wondered about how to make your own preserves? This class has been created for those that wish to fill your pantry with jars and bottles of tasty deliciousness through learning the methods our grandparents may have used. Creating homemade produce, without the use of preservatives.

In this class I hope to demystify how to preserve and pass along tried and tested age-old methods that you can take with you into your homes.

In this class we will prepare a Cordial, Jam, Chutney, Tomato Sauce, BBQ Sauce, all wonderful things to fill your pantry with and have on hand to add to your kitchen creations. These methods can then be used in your home kitchen to experiment with your own flavour combinations, I personally love a blackberry and mint cordial in summertime.

I will share with you how to best prepare them so that they are shelf stable, through the water-bath method.

The ingredients selected for this class will be sourced from farmers and producers of the Huon Valley, nearby to Florian Cottage, as we are fortunate to have a treasure trove of excellent orchardist, berry and small-scale farmers all at our doorstep.

Inclusions: Morning tea, lunch, recipe folder and a selection of goods prepared in the class
