Where I’m Going, Where I’ve Been – March 2018

March 12, 2018

Though the true start of the canning season is still a ways off where I live, my calendar is beginning to fill up with classes and events (and if you want me to come and teach at your school, church, farm, library, or market in 2018, now’s the time to get in touch!).

Where I’m Going

My first in-person class of the season is Saturday, March 24 from 9:30 to 11:30 am at Valley Variety in Hudson, NY. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll make a batch of low sugar strawberry vanilla jam. It’s a good opportunity to learn more about Pomona’s Pectin, the role of sugar in canning, and how to process jars in a boiling water bath. Whether you’re a new canner or someone who’s looking to refresh your skills, this will be a good class for you! $80. Register here.

If you’re not in the Hudson Valley or can’t swing the class, I’m also restarting my regular Facebook Livestreaming demos. The first one of the season will be on Monday, March 19 at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT. These are free, hour-long sessions in which I’ll demonstrate how to make a recipe from one of my books and I’ll answer all your questions. Make sure to like and follow the Food in Jars Facebook page to get the notification when the livestream is beginning!

Where I’ve Been

Many moons ago, I had a conversation with Aleen Simms for Originality, the podcast she co-hosts with K. Tempest Bradford. I love the format of this podcast, because Aleen and Tempest share snippets of what their guests have to say and then use those bits of audio as a springboard into their own conversation. The episode went live last month and you can listen to it here.

Also, do you know that I also co-host a podcast? Called Local Mouthful, it’s a show in which Joy Manning and I talk shop with obsessed home cooks everywhere. I mention it because it’s come to my attention that I don’t do a great job making sure that my Food in Jars readers know about the show and I really think you guys would like it. We talk about food news, offer audio recipes, interview cookbook authors, and share all our culinary tricks and tips. If this sounds like something you’d dig, subscribe here!
