Pickling with Alex from Clove

What you need to know!

In this workshop we are going to talk pickles and only pickles: pickles prepared in all kinds of ways, pickled fruit, pickled vegetables, quick pickles and slow pickles.

We’ll start by teaching you all about vinegar and how it works its pickling magic, plus teach you how to match your produce to the right vinegar. We’ll discuss seasons, how to interchange vegetables and fruits, different pickling techniques and lots of ideas on how to enjoy your pickles. You’ll learn all the essential safety information and leave confident to be able to pickle anything.

Hosted by food educator, Alex Elliott-Howery (Clove and Cornersmith).

Suitable for ages 15 and up. Free event. Registration required. Participants will be sent a Zoom link upon registration.
