The history of food preservation takes us through many cultures, times, and associated rituals. Preserving foodstuffs was not only a preparation for the winter months, but also a communal experience where unique recipes and techniques were exchanged. The process combines age old traditions with a continuous quest for new ingredients to improve the longevity of products and discover new, surprising tastes. Different ethnic cuisines combine flavours and ingredients in a variety of ways, making today's preserves an area of continued playful innovations (such as a pickling cucumber with pine buds, or preserving eggs in anise tea).

We invite you to continue this tradition by meeting us at a 'jam session' (no pun intended) where we will sample and exchange the many wonderful preserves we have made this season. Bring your jams, oils, vinegars, smoked and dried foods, as well as fermented and distilled drinks to exchange for other preserved goods and increase biodiversity of your pantry for this winter.
