About this event
CookingIn a world with too much cheap, disposable stuff, it is so much better, more ecologically sound and more meaningful to give something you've actually made yourself. This holiday season, skip the crowds and give something truly delicious and made with intention. In this festive, hands-on class, Kristy Sadler, sustainable food educator and founder of Zestyplan, will show you how to turn simple ingredients into four beautiful, flavour-packed gifts for your friends, family, teachers, hosts, or anyone on your list who appreciates good food. These make wonderful stocking-stuffers — IF you can resist eating them all yourself!
Along the way, you'll learn about water-bath canning, pickling and preserving techniques, creative flavour combinations, and simple ways to make the most of seasonal ingredients. Kristy will also share ideas for thoughtful packaging and reducing waste during the gift-giving season.

Concord Grape Jelly
A classic grape jelly bursting with the sweet-tart flavour of Concord grapes. This is the first of two shelf-stable preserves you'll take home. (Ed. note: These grapes are from my backyard! Talk about local and organic! —LEN)
