Canning blogger and Grid columnist Marisa McClellan will be celebrating the release of her new book, Food in Jars: Preservation in Small Batches, with a selling and signing event at Greensgrow Farm this Saturday from 12- 2 p.m. She will also be featuring some of her favorite recipes from the book, including pickled dilly beans and stonefruit chutney.
Also joining McClellan will be Robyn Jasko, author of Homesweet Homegrown, a veritable how-to guide for living a more sustainable lifestyle. Jasko will also be bringing goodies to share, including cold beet sangria and herbal simple syrups.
Stay around after the signing and you’ll also have a chance to take a workshop from the canning pro herself. McClellan will be teaching how to make spiced peach jam. The workshop starts at 2 p.m. and costs $35. Participants will go home with a jar of jam as well as the recipe. To register, visit greensgrow.org/events.
