About this Event
Join LUSH Valley and Jules Matthews for a Community Kitchen where you'll learn how to turn garden-fresh jalapeños into sweet, spicy, and irresistibly delicious Cowboy Candy!
Cowboy Candy, also known as candied jalapeños, is a favourite preserve that strikes the perfect balance between heat and sweetness. These versatile peppers add a flavourful kick to sandwiches, burgers, charcuterie boards, salads, and more.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of safe water-bath canning while creating a batch of Cowboy Candy to bring home and enjoy throughout the year.
