Canning for Beginners (CLASS FULL)

About the Class

In partnership with Gaining Ground, Crabtree Farms is hosting a three part autumn-inspired food preservation and cooking series “Cultivating Community at Crabtree: Preserving Autumn Harvests”.

Join us for an afternoon of autumnal canning! Learn the basics of canning and take home a delicious jar of apple butter to enjoy over biscuits, toast, oatmeal, etc. This is a hands-on cooking class. We will feature fresh apples from a local orchard.

This class is free to the community thanks to a generous grant in partnership with Gaining Grounds.
