Canning Series - Week 4 (07/26/26)
2026-07-26 09:00 - 12:00
Week 4: Tomato Season — Sauces & Pantry Staples
Objectives: Canning tomato-based recipes safely; understanding pH and acidification for food safety.
Kitchen Topics:

Tomato Basil Sauce
Lemon Caponata Eggplant Sauce

Canning Series – About:

Discover the art and science of home canning in this hands-on six-week series designed for beginners and curious cooks alike. From sweet summer jams to savory pantry staples, each class builds foundational skills and confidence while guiding you through the essential principles of safe, successful home canning. You’ll progress from working with liquid and powdered pectins to long-boil techniques, learning the important distinctions between jams, jellies, preserves, and marmalades along the way.
The series covers a diverse and delicious range of recipes — from a tangy lemon ginger marmalade and smoky homemade BBQ sauce to rich tomato-based pasta sauces and a bright lemon caponata. Later weeks shift the focus to stocking a thoughtful pantry and creating items perfect for gifting, including a cranberry orange chutney timed beautifully for the holiday season and a hot and sweet chili sauce that pairs perfectly with seafood and Asian-inspired dishes.
Each week features two tested, vetted recipes carefully selected to reinforce that week’s learning objectives and yield approximately six half-pint jars — so every participant leaves class with something to show (and taste) for their efforts. The series wraps up with a celebration of vegetables through fresh salsas and relishes that are as versatile as they are delicious, giving you the skills and inspiration to keep canning long after the last class ends.

Canning Series – Cost:
The Canning Series is $550.00 for all six weeks of classes. Students may not sign up for individual classes. No chef jacket fee is added for this program.

Canning Series - Week 5 (08/02/26)
2026-08-02 09:00 - 12:00
Week 5: The Gift of Good Food — Chutneys & Specialty Sauces
Objectives: Creating pantry staples and gift-worthy preserves; expanding beyond jams into chutneys and condiment-style sauces.
Kitchen Topics:

Cranberry Orange Chutney
Hot & Sweet Chili Sauce

Canning Series – About:

Discover the art and science of home canning in this hands-on six-week series designed for beginners and curious cooks alike. From sweet summer jams to savory pantry staples, each class builds foundational skills and confidence while guiding you through the essential principles of safe, successful home canning. You’ll progress from working with liquid and powdered pectins to long-boil techniques, learning the important distinctions between jams, jellies, preserves, and marmalades along the way.
The series covers a diverse and delicious range of recipes — from a tangy lemon ginger marmalade and smoky homemade BBQ sauce to rich tomato-based pasta sauces and a bright lemon caponata. Later weeks shift the focus to stocking a thoughtful pantry and creating items perfect for gifting, including a cranberry orange chutney timed beautifully for the holiday season and a hot and sweet chili sauce that pairs perfectly with seafood and Asian-inspired dishes.
Each week features two tested, vetted recipes carefully selected to reinforce that week’s learning objectives and yield approximately six half-pint jars — so every participant leaves class with something to show (and taste) for their efforts. The series wraps up with a celebration of vegetables through fresh salsas and relishes that are as versatile as they are delicious, giving you the skills and inspiration to keep canning long after the last class ends.

Canning Series – Cost:
The Canning Series is $550.00 for all six weeks of classes. Students may not sign up for individual classes. No chef jacket fee is added for this program.

After our staff covers what each table will be cooking, guests split up among the tables to prepare the menu. At the end, our chefs take over the kitchen, while guests return to the dining room and are served a delectable three-course dinner complete with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
The Gourmet Class is a wonderful experience for a Date Night.
Each Gourmet Class includes complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks. Alcoholic beverages will be available until dessert is served.
