Anyone for Pears

Pears are fabulous for pickles and preserves, cordials or just eating at Rosie's Preserving School UK
The pear trees in my garden are my greatest joy - they are simple to grow and, like me, you can plant a dwarf variety so that it doesn't take up too much room. To be able to pick a ripe pear warmed by the late Autumn sunshine and then eat it without the juice dribbling down your chin is one of life's pleasures.

Even if you need to buy fruit there are so many beautiful fruits available in different parts of the country to make into some delicious preserves. I love to 'bottle' them just as my Mum did which is known as water bathing today. Very useful for plum crumbles through the Winter or just to be warmed through gently and enjoyed with some custard.

In this week's live Workshop we will make Spiced Pickled Pears to enjoy through the Winter with cheeses or cold meats, and also look at how to make Pear Cordial - with or without added ginger.

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 have just had a ball of a time making the Christmas drinks along with you! I made them all (other than the coffee one, as we've got a stash of Tia Maria in the cupboard!) and experimented with a non-alcoholic gin for the marmalade one - will be interesting to see how it turns out! All the others will be happily enjoyed by my alcohol consuming friends and family (Sam has already had to try a bit of the Baileys style one as we ran out of jars - shame!) and I thoroughly enjoyed the session!
