Virtual Cook Along: New Menu! Homemade Refrigerator Jams, Salsas and Pickles

It's no secret that locally grown, harvested-in-season produce is more nutritious than commercially prepared products, and it tastes so much better, too! Join our chef in a 2-hour intensively interactive virtual workshop where we’ll cover the basics of making refrigerator jams, pickles and salsas. If you have never made jams or pickles, this is a great introductory course; with a few simple tricks and tips, you’ll be enjoying the farm fresh flavors of summer for months to come! 

Note that we will cover canning basics in our class discussion and include directions in the recipe packet, but will not be canning during class. The recipes made during this class should be stored in your fridge and will not be canned using a water bath for shelf-storage. We encourage you to use Ball Jars in class today, but any heat-proof jars or containers will do.

Menu:

• Peach-Vanilla Refrigerator Jam
• Tomato and Roasted Poblano Refrigerator Salsa
• Refrigerator Pickled Corn, Zucchini and Fennel Relish

Skills covered in class:

• Working with seasonal produce
• Making fruit jams
• Working with pectin
• Canning basics
• Pickling
• Roasting peppers
• Blanching tomatoes
• Working with herbs and spices

You can choose to make all of the items, or select the recipes you would like to cook along with your chef in real time. Either way, your chef will make sure all of your questions are answered during or after class. 

Our Virtual Cook Along classes, via Zoom, will have you and your chef cooking together in real time. We’ll provide you with the recipe packet, equipment list and class syllabus upon registration, so you’re prepared to get cooking! Our Zoom moderator will make sure your questions are answered live by the chef either during or after class.
