Join cookbook author Andrea Chesman to learn about canning, drying and freezing fruits with Scott Farm peaches! Wouldn't it be great if you could pack summer into a jar to enjoy in the dead of winter? Well, that's what preserving juicy, fresh peaches is all about. We'll be tasting and comparing peaches that have been preserved by drying, freezing, and canning, and we'll sample peach jam made with various different pectins. We'll look at the time commitment and equipment needed for each preservation method and we'll do some hand's-on canning of peaches using the time-saving steam canner. The $50 registration fee includes a pint of your own canned peaches and a tote of Scott Farm's fresh peaches. Andrea's harvest preservation books will be available for purchase at the class. You can sign up on-line at ScottFarmVermont.com

Andrea Chesman is the author of a number of cookbooks, including The Backyard Homestead Book of Kitchen Know-How and The Pickled Pantry, both of which cover harvest preservation. She gardens, grows, and preserves in Ripton, Vermont, and maintains a blog at her website, andreachesman.com.
