Join LUSH Valley and Julie Matthews for a Community Kitchen where you'll learn the basics of pressure canning by preserving broths and stocks!
Are you curious about pressure canning? Maybe you own a pressure canner but are unsure of how to use it safely?  Come take part in a hands-on workshop and learn how to use a pressure canner, safely and confidently. 
Guided by experienced canner Julie Matthews, participants will learn how to pressure can, practicing by preserving a quart of vegan smoked garlic scape broth – a valuable skill, as broths and stocks cannot be waterbath canned. This pressure canning class applies to both veggie broths or meat broths: any clear stock that contains no solids (such as soups).
In this class, you will also learn what to look for when buying a second hand canner or testing a new-to-you pressure canner that hasn’t been used in a while: what to check, what’s important to look for, how to safely test it. Julie will bring two different styles of pressure canners to give an overview of both types. 
Participants will gain hands-on experience with each step of the process, preserving one quart of pressure canned smoked garlic broth which will be ready for pickup the following day.
All supplies are included.
Participants should plan to pick up their finished product at LUSH Valley in the days following the workshop.
*The workshop may end slightly later than 8:00 PM due to various circumstances that arise during the session.
