Rose Petal Jelly
There is so much more to roses than just being pretty and smelling delicious
Our ancestors used them widely both in cooking and medicinally. They are healing, soothing and very beneficial for frazzled nerves. We will be making some delicate, delicious Rose Petal Jelly but also exploring some of the other benefits of roses and their uses through the passage of time
I am not going to lie - I have a huge problem with wanting to make the rose preserves and the act of destroying the beautiful flowers - I am in need of some preservation therapy! The key to using anything with frangrance, be it herbs or flowers, is to pick late morning when the sun has had a chance to dry the dew on the flowers and to kickstart the oils in the leaves of herbs. Never pick when the plants are wet or the weather overcast
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!
