This weekend at the UCC special guest teacher Delilah Snell, Master Food Preserver, lead our first canning class, aptly named Jam Session. We learned the process of steam canning, something that has long intrigued and confounded me. Delilah demystified it throughout the session as we made apricot jam, red wine jelly, and sweet onion marmalade, all three equally delicious. We talked about everything from how and where to acquire ingredients, the best places for buying canning supplies, to altering recipes by adding your own personal flair. Delilah imparted the knowledge for each of us to set up our own home kitchens with a canning station. Thanks to Delilah for making the trip from Orange County up to The Urban Craft Center we look forward to the next Jam Session! :)
