About Strawberry Jam for Beginners

Join Cara Monteleone, our Culinary Instructor at The Farm Institute, for a hands-on class transforming two iconic summer staples, strawberries and rhubarb, into jam and a refreshing soda.

You will learn canning and preservation basics to bring home your very own jar of jam, stable to enjoy whenever you want! During this process, we will use up every part of the produce we pick to make delish syrups for seltzers, sodas, and anything in between.

This class is designed for beginner home-fermenters and preservers and includes a trip to the Friendship Garden to harvest rhubarb for this class.
