Part I - Sunday September 22

Join Vashon’s own Sarah Collins of Seattle Canning Company, multiple Good Food Awards winner, for our two-part series focusing on the basics of canning, preserving, pickling, and general putting-up.

Using the best of Vashon’s autumn bounty of produce, Sarah will guide us through the basics of what it means to can and pickle from both a scientific perspective, and a practical stance.

This class series will be a true blend of theory and practice. In Part I, we will cover:

• Principles of food preservation in a home setting.
• Step-by-Step basics for safely preserving high acid foods like pickles, jams, and relishes for shelf storage to enjoy year round.
• A deep dive into which foods are best suited for canning as well as the basics of vinegar pickling.
• Two brine recipes, the Water Bath Technique, and your very own jar of pickles to take home.

We at Relish are very proud to invite you to dig into the art and science of canning with a true expert of the craft. Come and learn how to enjoy your harvest all year long.

We invite you to join us in Pickled and Preserved Part II, where we will expand upon what we learned in Part I and cover:
