Rhubarb, Rhubarb, Rhubarb
Used for hundreds if not thousands of years in Chinese medecine the power of rhubarb should not be overlooked. Let's try and get past the rather humdrum reputation gained during wartime when this was the fruit which whole generations became heartily sick of
With sugar rationed there were not many options to make it palatable and after World War II many rhubarb roots were dug out of allotments and gardens and disposed of
What a shame as it lived life in the shadows for several decades before now having a renaissance in all areas of culinary expertise, both sweet and savoury
Let's take a deep dive into the rhubarby preserving possibilities
Our Workshops are friendly, no experience of cooking or preserving is necessary and we try to use everyday, familiar equipment. You can cook along with the Live Workshop or use the recording which will be place in The Library of the School soon after the Workshop finishes
So, take advantage of the block booking discounts to access all of the Season's Workshops with the security of knowing you won't miss anything.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our preserving family

I have just had a ball of a time making the Christmas drinks along with you! I made them all (other than the coffee one, as we've got a stash of Tia Maria in the cupboard!) and experimented with a non-alcoholic gin for the marmalade one - will be interesting to see how it turns out! All the others will be happily enjoyed by my alcohol consuming friends and family (Sam has already had to try a bit of the Baileys style one as we ran out of jars - shame!) and I thoroughly enjoyed the session!
