Used for hundreds if not thousands of years in Chinese medecine the power of rhubarb should not be overlooked. Let's try and get past the rather humdrum reputation gained during wartime when this was the fruit which whole generations became heartily sick of With sugar rationed there were not many options to make it palatable and after World War II many rhubarb roots were dug out of allotments and gardens and disposed of
What a shame as it lived life in the shadows for several decades before now having a renaissance in all areas of culinary expertise, both sweet and savoury
Let's take a deep dive into the rhubarby preserving possibilities
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?!
