Meanwhil e\, the cost of living continues to rise\, and many of us are looking for practical ways to make our food budget stretch further while eating well.\ n\nOver a series of two hour workshops\, you'll learn time-tested techniqu es for preserving seasonal produce - whether it's from your garden\, local markets\, or those yellow-sticker bargains that represent genuine savings and rescue perfectly good food from unnecessary waste.\n\nEating seasonal ly isn't just about saving money or reducing waste (though it does both be autifully). Seasonal eating connects us to the natural rhythms of the year \, often provides better nutrition and flavour\, and supports local grower s and sustainable farming practices. When we preserve food at its peak\, w e capture not just its taste\, but its nutritional value too.\n\nBy the en d of each workshop\, you'll have the confidence to turn surplus into treas ure - transforming those "too good to waste" moments into a well-stocked c upboard that serves you year-round.\n\nWhat you'll create and take home: A pples and pork workshop (veggie option available)\n\nDuring September and October you'll get hands-on experience using apples we will harvest here i n our very own orchard\, to create delicious homemade pork and apple pies and sausage and apple rolls - discovering how fruit can enhance savoury pr eserves and add natural sweetness and moisture to traditional recipes. You 'll leave with more than just new skills: each participant will receive a recipe card too.
