Join me and your mother in making homemade jam and scones to serve at your own Afternoon Tea here at The Yorkshire Preservatory.

The workshop is hands on where you will make a different jam each plus a savoury and sweet scone.

I provide full guidance, instruction and demonstration that will give you the necessary confidence and knowledge to cook independently at your own pace at your own work station, by induction hob or gas hob, in a friendly, informal atmosphere.

The day will begin with a tasting session of different types of jams. This will be followed by a brief overview of how preserving works, the equipment needed and basic jam making methods.

Throughout the day everything you need to prepare and make your preserves will be supplied, including a restorative cup of tea or coffee.

You will make a jam each in the morning followed by freshly baked scones in the afternoon.

Afternoon Tea will then be served with your jam and scones taking centre stage.

Having labelled your preserves, you take home all the preserves you make. (Usually around 5 jars each)

Lunch offers another opportunity to sample home made food using seasonal produce.

Contact me to book a place or find out about the type of preserves you could make depending on the season and availability of fruit and vegetables by submitting an enquiry form or ring me to chat about what you would like to do.
