Pickling Class
Are you afraid of the time commitment that preserves need? Have you always wanted to learn but just haven’t taken the time to search through millions of recipes and how to’s on google? While traditional canning for pickled foods requires sterilized jars and steam pots, here we offer a simpler refrigerator method that doesn't use any special equipment, is cost effective, time sensitive because we know that life gets busy. Come join us for Pickle Paloozas Cold Pickling class on July 30th and 31st at 2:00pm. Each guest gets to make their own jar of pickles to take home and learn how cold pickling is done! This is a family favorite for many, whether you are an expert or brand new to the pickling world, this class will be sure to entertain and educate. Each participant requires a ticket. Each ticket is valid for one person.
