In “Preserving The Calabrian Way” I will teach you how to preserve our wonderful summer vegetables for the winter months as they did hundreds of years ago when the only way to save them was to sun-dry, pickle or preserve them under oil. You will learn how to can fresh tomatoes so you can have their wonderful fresh
taste when they are out of season. We will preserve zucchini under oil and green tomatoes in a wonderful jam, and I will share my secret of how to make conserva (homemade tomato paste).
But if we are canning, how can we fix dinner and what will we eat? Don't worry! You will enjoy the preserves we make as appetizers, and I will fix a Calabrese picnic along with a pasta
dish, some vegetable side dishes and dessert, prepared ahead so that we can spend our time learning how to preserve vegetables.
And all students will take home their own jar of canned tomatoes.
