Blackcurrant Jam
The blackcurrants will soon be ripe - let's get match fit with some great ideas.
The scent of blackcurrants is so evocative of Summer to me - even the leaves smell of blackcurrants. When I was little I was sent into the jungle of blackcurrant bushes to pick any low hanging fruit. I only have to smell the currants or leaves now to be taken back there and those Summer days.
My Mother used to put up jars and jars of blackcurrants which processed in the oven to seal. These were used to make into a pie served with evaporated milk for Sunday lunch pudding when I was little and I loved that the currants turned the milk purple. My fav.
Our Workshops are friendly, no experience of cooking or preserving is necessary and we try to use everyday, familiar equipment. You can cook along with the Live Workshop or use the recording which will be place in The Library of the School soon after the Workshop finishes
So, take advantage of the block booking discounts to access all of the Season's Workshops with the security of knowing you won't miss anything.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our preserving family

I've thoroughly enjoyed your workshops over the last year and have learnt so much about preserving - there's a whole world out there, not just jams! Your warm and friendly approach is greatly appreciated, and you answer all our questions with endless patience. Thanks for giving me the confidence to experiment - as you say, what could go wrong?!
