6/16: Jam 101 Class
Make the most of summer fruits with jam!
In this 4-hour introductory class, Rachel takes you through the jam-making process from start to finish, with a special focus on seasonal fruits. We will cook four different jams, including at least one multiple-fruit jam. Our focus will be on identifying the physical properties of different fruits and understanding how these properties affect both the cooking process and the end result. We will examine key topics such as the role of sugar, the importance of lemon juice and how to add it, the states of cooking, and how to test accurately for doneness. This class starts with an hour-long jam tasting and discussion, then proceeds to the cooking process.
This class runs from 5 to 9 pm and takes place at our beautiful Oakland kitchen! Tea, dessert, and a light dinner will be provided, and you will receive four small jars of jam to take home! Classes are limited to 15 students and class fees are nonrefundable. Students must be at least 18 years of age. We will send you an informational e-mail a few days prior to your class date. We will have all Blue Chair Fruit jam and marmalade flavors, aprons, Mauviel copper jam pans, and cookbooks available to purchase during class.
***While we never anticipate class cancellations, the need may arise to reschedule. We will be sure to notify students 4 days in advance of the class, and reschedule them into another available class.***
