JAM SESSION THURSDAY JULY 24TH 2025

Come learn how to make  and safely preserve delicious homemade jams

When: Thursday July 24th from 2pm to 5pm

What: Learn the principles of jam making, including how to go from raw fruit or berries to a delicious spreadable jam. The exact technique depends on the type of fuit being used, but there are basic principles that I will explain. We also will learn how to sterilize the jams and preserves we make using a water bath so that the jam can be safely kept in the cupboard at room temperature.

There will be tea, scones and cream to be enjoyed with our jams, and you get to go home with two jars of the jams we will make, a $30 value.

I will go get fruit at the farmers market on Tuesday afternoon. We will make a mixed berry jam (raspberry, strawberry and blueberry mix), and a nectarine or peach jam depending on what looks best at the market.
