Comments on: Peach Jam Class http://www.foodinjars.com/2009/06/peach-jam-class/ A blog dedicated to canning, preserving and the art of putting up. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:37:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marisa http://www.foodinjars.com/2009/06/peach-jam-class/#comment-627 Marisa Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:50:09 +0000 http://www.foodinjars.com/?p=277#comment-627 The class is hands on in the sense that if people want to, they'll be able to come up and help peel/chop fruit, stir the jam or help fill the jars. There will be approximately 15 people in the class, so no one will be doing anything from start to finish, but I do try to ensure that everyone gets to play some role in the making of the final product. And of course, everyone gets to take home a small jar of what we made. I do go through the basics of canning in every class I teach, so if you're looking for some grounding in the fundamentals, it's a good way to get that.

I have never canned before but have been reading about it and considering investing in the basics. Thanks. Kelly Hi,

In the end I picked pickles because I already know how to freeze peaches, so I figured pickles would be more logical. I’m surprised it was unpopular!
