Workshop: Jam Making

Irma Rombauer, the author of Joy of Cooking, wrote in her chapter on Canning:  "It is a thrill to possess shelves well stocked with home-canned food.  In fact, you will find their inspection - often surreptitious - and the pleasure of serving the fruits of your labor comparable only to a clear conscience or a very becoming hat."

Unfortunately, the Canning and Preserves chapters of current editions of Joy of Cooking have been removed in favor of more modern culinary techniques and interests. We think that's a shame.  Gone are the neat line drawings of pressure cookers and Mason jars. One can't ogle a diagram of how to skin a squirrel or find a recipe of how to cook an armadillo (We are not making that up). These are definitely lost arts.

The art of jam making doesn't have to be lost on you, however. Here at Love Apple Farm you can learn this fun and satisfying craft. We will make several kinds of jam during the workshop, utilizing a couple of different methods. Students will take home a few jars of jam that we process in class.

This workshop is hands-on and limited to six students. Taught by Cynthia Sandberg in her home kitchen located at Love Apple Farms, 2317 Vine Hill Road, Santa Cruz, CA. Read a nice review of our canning type classes here and then here.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing a few words about jam making. I have been making jam for quite some time now and yet I think I still have a lot to learn.
