Pickling is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to preserve the season—transforming fresh produce into something bright, flavorful, and long-lasting.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of two core approaches to preservation: vinegar-based pickling and salt-based fermentation. We’ll cover pickling basics, how to choose your ingredients, and the tools you’ll need to get started.

Together, we’ll make a selection of recipes that highlight each style, giving you a clear understanding of how to recreate and build on them at home.

In this workshop you’ll:

  • Understand the basics of salt-based fermentation and vinegar pickling
  • Learn the differences between fermented pickles, fresh pickles, and quick pickles
  • Learn how to safely store your pickles and continue experimenting at home
  • Make fermented curry cauliflower, pickled mixed seasonal veggies, and spicy pickled red onions

You’ll leave with three jars of your own creations and the confidence to preserve seasonal produce in your own kitchen.

All materials provided. No prior experience needed. Just bring your curiosity and creativity!
