Preserve the Season: Stone Fruit

Part of our monthly Preserve the Season series, this hands-on workshop explores practical techniques for capturing the best of the harvest. Guided by Christina Connelly of Apple Blossom Acres, you’ll learn the fundamentals of home preservation while working with the freshest stone fruit available that week.

In this workshop you’ll:

• Learn the basics of home preservation and safe canning practices
• Work with peak-season stone fruit selected for flavor and quality
• Understand how fruit, sugar, acidity, and pectin work together in preserves
• Make a seasonal jam, preserved fruit, and fruit-based beverage ingredient
• Gain the confidence to continue preserving summer fruit at home

You’ll leave with one jam, one preserved fruit and one preserved beverage and the skills to continue preserving the harvest at home.
