We are heading into the home stretch of summer. If you haven’t yet pulled out your canning pot this season, consider taking a class to help boost your preservation mojo. I’ve got a handful of in-person classes on the schedule, as well as a pair of live online classes.
These online classes have been a total delight. Three times now, I’ve hosted them from my kitchen and a happy crowd of 20-25 people have tuned in. The conversation in the chat room has been consistently lively and I so enjoy the sense of community that builds over the course of an hour. If you haven’t joined one yet, I highly encourage you to do so!
