About this Event
Love salsa and wondering what to do with all your tomatoes? Join our local canning expert for a fun, instructional class all about making and safely canning a variety of salsas—including classic tomato, fresh pico de gallo, and fruity twists. You'll learn the basics of water bath canning, get the inside scoop on preserving seasonal produce, and of course—snack on plenty of salsa samples along the way. This is a demonstration-style class, so come for the skills, stay for the chips!
Meet the Instructor!
Sara Reece is a long time enthusiast for all things food preservation. It all started with growing up in a huge family where her mom did a lot of canning and freezing. As an adult, her continuously achy joints led her to adopt a whole foods diet and she's never looked back as her symptoms abated. The slow-food concept (food should be grown and bought locally, prepared with care, and consumed with appreciation) is one that rings true to her spirit. Sara is delighted to share her expertise in canning and fermentation with her Co-op community.
