Upcoming Canning Classes and Les Dames Symposium
Canning season is nearly upon us, which means that it’s time for classes! I’m teaching a number of classes this year and I’ve tried to switch things up a little, to ensure that I’m offering new skills and recipes in these sessions. Even if you’ve taken a class from me in the past, hopefully you’ll find something new and appealing here! Here are my classes that are coming in the next few months!
