Our jam classes are back this February, and we’re doing what we always do: start with the basics, then make it weird (on purpose). Since surplus fruit is our secret weapon, this is the kind of jam that makes people pause mid-bite.
You’ll learn the foundations of jam-making, think fruit, sugar, timing, texture, then move into how to safely add bold, bougie inclusions that take a jar from “nice” to “wait, what is in this?”
Think flavor combos like Black Pepper Balsamic Strawberry and Earl Grey Berry.
We’ll talk through how and when to add inclusions, how to balance flavors without overpowering the fruit, and how to hot water bath can your jam so it’s shelf-stable and ready to enjoy later.
You’ll put that knowledge into practice and leave with one jar you made yourself, sealed and ready for its moment.
This is a hands-on class with plenty of tasting, stirring, and side commentary.
No experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to trust the process (and the pepper).
