£75.00

Discover the delicious world of preserving in this hands-on class dedicated to the timeless techniques of pickling, fermenting, and making jams and chutneys. Whether you’re looking to add exciting extra to your dishes, a keen gardener, or just curious about reducing food waste and eating more seasonally, this workshop will give you the skills to make the most of Scotland’s produce all year round.

Guided by our expert instructor, you’ll learn:

  • How to safely pickle seasonal vegetables using quick and traditional methods
  • The basics of fermentation to create gut-friendly foods like sauerkraut or kimchi
  • How to balance sweet, tangy, and spiced flavours in small-batch chutneys and fruit jams

You’ll leave with jars of your own handmade preserves and a new appreciation for these age-old techniques.

Perfect for beginners and keen home cooks alike—come ready to chop, stir, taste, and take home a little jar of magic.
