Introduction to Jam Class
Friday, May 23rd, 2025 at 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Each Spring we host an Introduction to Jam-Making Class. We use fresh strawberries as our medium since they make such a nice, bright preserve. All areas of home canning safety will be covered along with the jam-making process from washing and hulling to testing for doneness to jarring and storing. This is a hands-on class and at the end, everyone will depart with 2 jars of freshly made Strawberry Jam. Please note that we pride ourselves in making and teaching no pectin-added, low-sugar preserving. this style of jam-making is both science and art-based. We hope you enjoy the process and outcome as much as we do!
Aletha Thomas, the founder of both Monkeypod Jam and Cooking Kauai, teaches this introductory class. Her 15+ years of experience in both home and commercial preservation make her one of Hawaii’s top authorities.
Age Requirement: Ages 16+
Location: The Cooking Kauai, Provisions Kitchen in Lawai. The exact location will be shared after registration.
