[Nfb-krafters-korner] New Craft classes, let's try it out!

[Ramona Walhof]

Nella, I really did not have any trouble.  It has just been so long that I
don't remember the details.  I think I made peach preserves and zucini
relish.  Zucinis here grow huge and fast.  A pot big enough to hold the jars
was the biggest challenge.  I didn't want to buy a cannner and have to store
it.  

Will try to be there if I can.  
Ramona

Oh yes, longer ago (40 years) I used to can grape juice.  Then I did have a
canner.

Ramona:

I'm leading a chat on Monday, July 18 on introducing jelly and jam making.
I'm very much a beginner at this so hope any of you who have experience will
join in.  I thought I would go over what supplies are needed and how to
safely handle hot jars and liquids.

I got some advice from my Mom, my Aunt and read some books.  It's really
just following recipes and cooking.  If you like to cook and have safe
kitchen skills, you can do it.

It has been more than twenty years since I made jam, but this might be a
time for some of you who do this to explain what you do.  I used the recipe
on the pectin package, and it turned out great.  I know some people make
frozen jam which is also good. I don't think it would work to do it in
class, but a talk about what is necessary and what works would be enough for
many.   

I don't think we want cooking to take over the list, but a couple of classes
should be appropriate, and this is the right time of year.

This will be a test run on doing classes.  So let's give it a try!

The next 2 weeks up to July 31 we do not have any phone classes.  We do have
1 email class on the calendar.  So I am looking for you to do a one night or
day class.  It will not be put up on the website.  You need to promote it
here on the list.  You need to post the date, description of the class and
supplies needed.  You need to check the emails here to see if anyone has
booked the date you would like to do it on and you need to collect the
student list.

So classes can start on July 12 and the last date will be July 28.  

This will not be posted for sign up, so you need to contact the teacher if
you have any questions.

Let's give this a try.

Joyce
