cooking / canning circle

[Caroline Bartel]

Growing local is great, but I wonder if sometimes our 'exotic'
palates
have led us to be somewhat uncreative with the great variety of ways
to prepare (and store) local produce. Is anyone interested in
creating a cooking / canning group? We could meet during the growing
season in my community hall (Cambrian Heights) to work to cook some
yummy treats that are easy to store; or people could come and learn
from others how to can things, make jam, etc. If we can get a group
of people together, then everyone would only have to bring some
ingredients and walk away with some prepared food after paying with
'sweat equity'. If you're interested, let me know and I'll keep a
contact list and see if I can get something going for this summer /
fall.
