Event Overview
This special class teaches you a variety of methods of canning fresh tomatoes, from using an auto canner to just hot water in a pot. The first part of the class, we will discuss different techniques of canning. Then we will dice up fresh, local tomatoes. Finally, we will have a live demonstration using both an auto canner and a water bath technique. We provide the cans and tomatoes along with other ingredients to make a salsa. We will also have recipes for homemade tomato sauce, as well as a discussion of the history of tomatoes, their rise to popularity, and the differences in variety - all while preparing delicious salsa!
This class is a one time event, as part of our Sustainability Group at IGLOO Chicago. The Sustainability Group meets every Sunday from 5 to 7 PM in Pilsen at this location.
