There have now been 3 New Eden Food Preservation classes. In the cool of the First Parish basement kitchen, we have made blueberry jam, “Bread and Butter Pickles,”Dilly Beans”, and “End of Garden Pickles”. From the look of   the happy faces of the participants the classes have been a success. There are still 3 classes to go. The next one will be taught by Charlotte Dion and will show how to use lacto-fermentation to make Sauerkraut. There are still opening available. Contact Erin through this website or call 978-499-0096 to register for Charlotte’s class on September 9 and Tory Dolben’s classes on preserving peaches (September 23) and apples (October 7) .
