Pickling is one of our favorite things to do at Happy Girl Kitchen. This workshop will begin with a walk around Live Earth Farm, and an explanation of how we choose our produce and why it makes the best pickles. We will also have an introductory talk and tasting and we begin to divulge all of our secrets on how to get the right texture and flavor in your pickles. All of our recipes are simple and delicious and we will teach you how to keep it safe and yummy. We will cover topics of PH and botulism and flavor combinations. Then we head into the kitchen to begin creating the magic.
We always source from what is available locally and organic with each season so in this summer workshop we will have access to lovely pickling cucumbers, green beans and zucchini for a wonderful summer picalilly.
All techniques learned can be transferred to other pickle varieties too. You will take home 4 jars of our creations and there will be a delicious organic lunch for us all to share half way through. Register early as classes fill up fast!
