Spring Berry Jams

We are so lucky here in California where we have access to the most AMAZING fruit! Right in the middle of berries and plums flowing into season this is a perfect time to learn how to make fabulous low sugar jams with local, organic fruit. In this workshop Jordan will cover all you need to know to make delicious jams and the keys to preserving food safely. You will learn Jordan’s secret techniques for making low sugar jam that is packed with fresh fruit and flavor. She will cover techniques for making and testing your jam so that it will come out perfect every time. She will cover the topics of hot water bath canning and the PH scale and food safety. Students will get hands-on experience with some of the Bay Area's very best produce, and learn techniques for making great preserves at home.

Students will work with local organic fruit that is in season to create some fabulous jams. Learn how to add spices, herbs and citrus to your jams to create your own unique recipes. You will also learn how to preserve fruit in honey in a compote.

Students will go home with three jars of goodies and a lot of new canning knowledge.
