UPDATE!! The Event below has been changed. The workshop will now cover 4 different methods and give resources to take home and do on your own. What this means is that you no longer have to bring supplies to the event and we will just have some refreshments and samples as well as some resources to hand out during the presentation.

Please join us for this FREE workshop on making your own food preserves! We are hosting this event in partnership with the Syracuse City Emergency Preparedness Committee. If needed we can provide materials for you at cost, but if you’d like to bring your own, you will need…

• Any type of fruit for preserving (apples, peaches, berries, etc)
• Sweetener (Sugar, honey, Splenda, etc)
• Pectin (optional)
• Canning jars with lids
• A large mixing bowl
• Peeler (if needed), knife and cutting board

We will have limited quantities of all of the above if you are unable to bring your own (just let us know using the form below). We will help you figure out amounts for your preserves and show you step by step how to make them. We will also have decorations for your jars should you wish to give them out as gifts. We will also have a limited number of blenders/food processors that we can share, but it is appreciated if you are able to bring one with you.
