Canning Party , Saturday 10/18, at Edmund and Kathleen’s House

We are excited to learn something about food preservation, and so we’re hosting a Canning Party on Saturday, October 18, at our home in Kirkland! We hope you can come! We’re going to use organic produce brought by Dave Reid via sailboat (as part of his Sail Transport Network project), supplemented if necessary with store-bought or market-bought produce. We plan to choose a fairly simple canning project, for a start—possibly making applesauce this time—but this will partly depend on what produce is available. Expect to take away what you preserve!

Our kitchen is not enormous, so we ask that if you plan on attending (and we hope you do!), please contact me (Edmund) via email as early as possible so we have an idea of the number of attendees. In your email, too, please let me know if you have any canning skills or equipment you’d like to share/bring. We plan on having most or all of the necessary supplies, but if you have some to bring, great!

If a great many people want to come, we may have to turn people away as the kitchen would be just too small—so it’s in everyone’s interest to respond early!

When you contact me via email, I’ll send out our address (I don’t want to post it on the SPOA website).
