Come enjoy of an evening of instruction from some of the best in the business at The Key Room. Learn the secret behind a good jam from culinary expert Sallie Miller on August 15th from 12-2:30!
As temperatures rise, summer’s finest fruits and berries are at their most vibrant — ready to be captured in a jar and savored in seasons to come. A handful of herbs, spices, and simple techniques are all it takes to elevate these sweet, tart gems from ordinary jam into something entirely your own.
Culinary expert Sallie Miller (and jam maker extraordinaire!) will guide guests through time-tested methods for transforming fragrant fruits and luscious berries into flavorful preserves. Along the way, you’ll collect a bushel of tips on cooking, canning, essential equipment, and inspired flavor combinations. Taste your creations together at the end of class with hot-from-the-oven Buttermilk Biscuits.
