one-day course

preserving the harvest - vegetables

location: nr Ripon, North Yorkshire

The focus of this workshop will be vegetables and we will be using a variety picked from the raised beds and polytunnel. Often when you have a glut, you need different and unusual ways of preserving them and this workshop will look at a range of sweet and savoury preserves that can be made from whatever is in season at the time of the course.

At least 3 types of preserve will be made during the day which could include relish, sauce, pickle, jelly as well as jam and chutney. One preserve will be made using different flavours or techniques so that comparisons can be made. 

Participants will take home all the preserves made and there will be other preserves to taste as well.
