Start with a cuppa and tastings of their signature tomato relish, green tomato relish and tomato sauce, while you chat about the fundamentals of these preserving methods, from ingredient and jar selection and prep, to steps in production, bottling and storage. The importance of acidity, temperature and heat sealing will be discussed, and you will put everything into practice when you get "hands on" using either your own tomatoes or those provided, to prepare and make a batch of yummy tomato relish or sauce.

A minimum of one jar of tomato relish or a bottle of sauce.
Full workshop notes and recipes, including other ideas for preserving tomatoes.
