Capture the sweetness of summer and the zing of fall with this preservation party! Chef Cheryl Perry will teach you how to turn ripe fruit and pantry staples into gift-worthy, better-than-store-bought jams, jellies, and curds—without pressure canning (unless you want to!). From freezer-friendly favorites to stovetop magic, this class is perfect for those who love flavor, gifting, and the joy of homemade goodness.

Whether you’re new to preserving or want to freshen up your skills, this class is packed with tips, tricks, and lots of fun.
