PICKLING, PRESERVING & FERMENTING MASTERCLASS

Come and enjoy our cooking class on pickling and preserving. Identify fruit and veggies from our organic gardens and learn how we utilise excess seasonal produce to create our own range of pickles, chutneys, jams and sambal. Brad will cover the types of fruit and vegetables that can be preserved, what blends of vinegars and herbs to use when you pickle and his top tips for successful jam making. Fermenting is a simple process but it needs to be done correctly, and in this workshop you will discover how we can manage microbial bacteria to produce highly nutritious food.
