Garden Workshop: Jam Making: Sweet & Simple Preserves

We’re planting seeds of nourishment and community: join us Saturday, August 8th from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Bloomhouse in East Palo Alto, for our Jam Making: Sweet & Simple Preserves workshop!  

Join Our Hands-On Jam Making Workshop – Perfect for Beginners! Learn how to transform fresh fruit into delicious, homemade jam using lab-tested research based techniques. Whether you’re preserving summer berries or crafting gifts for loved ones, this class will guide you every step of the way.

What You’ll Learn:
• Selecting and preparing seasonal fruits
• Balancing sugar, acid, and pectin for the perfect set
• Safe water-bath canning and sealing methods

Preserving fruit by turning it into jam involves boiling, sugaring, and sealing to prevent spoilage. Spaces are limited – reserve your spot today!
