Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, plus our famous local Blenheim apricots; these early summer bounties are here today and gone the day after tomorrow!
Learn how to preserve the sprightly flavors of early summer from our artisan jam-maker, author, and famous food blogger, Pim Techamuanvivit of ChezPim. Pim was the recent winner of the jam category in the Good Food Awards, being judged by the likes of June Taylor and Alice Waters.
We'll start with a basic, straight-up berry jam without using commercial pectin. Next, we'll spice it up by making an herb-infused berry jam. Then, we'll craft a berry conserve with beautiful whole fruits. And finally, we'll make the best Blenheim apricot jam, ever. After the class, we promise you'll always want to make your own apricot jam instead of buying it! Plus you'll get to take home a jar or two of the jams we finish in class.
Note: Because of their seasonal nature, we may need to substitute other in-season fruits for this class.
