Tomato Relish & Sauce Making

Are you heading towards a glut of tomatoes?  Be prepared with this workshop on tomato relish & sauce making!

We start with a cuppa & tastings of my signature tomato relish, green tomato relish & tomato sauce, while we chat about the fundamentals of these preserving methods, from ingredient & jar selection & prep, to steps in production, bottling & storage. The importance of acidity, temperature & heat sealing will be discussed, and you will put this all into practice when you get “hands on” using either your own tomatoes or those provided, to prepare & make a batch of yummy tomato relish or sauce.

There will be lots of guidance during each step, as well as suggestions for variations of each recipe.

With the skills and knowledge gained from this class, you’ll be equipped to take advantage of the seasonal glut of tomatoes and make these tasty preserves for use throughout the year, or as beautiful hand made gifts.
