Expand your skills of self sufficiency and learn the best techniques of food preservation by canning & pickling.  In this workshop Leda Meredith of Leda’s Urban Homestead will demonstrate the proper methods of canning using local ingredients currently available.  Applesauce, apple preserve, sauerkraut and/or pickled carrots or cauliflower will be the focus of the demonstration.

Leda Meredith teaches at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Adelphi University, and the New York Botanical Garden (from which she holds a certificate in ethnobotany). A local foods activist, Leda has given food preservation work-shops for many organizations. She is the author of two books:  The Locavore’s Handbook: The Busy Person’s Guide to Eating Local on a Budget and Botany, Ballet, & Dinner from Scratch.
