Get ready to stir up some autumn magic!
Join us for a hands-on chutney making workshop celebrating the rich flavours of autumn’s harvest! Whether you’re a total beginner or just curious to try something new, in this fun and interactive session you will chop, stir, and taste your way to delicious homemade preserves.
Transform seasonal fruit, herbs and veg into delicious chutneys that will brighten up your winter meals.
You’ll learn two fantastic, flexible recipes:
- Squash & Apple Chutney
- Roasted Tomato Chutney
We’ll discuss a range of ways you can easily adapt the recipes at home using whatever’s in season.
In our welcoming Lang Spoon community kitchen, you’ll learn about:
- The best ingredients for preserving
- Creative ways to mix herbs, fruits, and veggies
- Tips and tricks for making your own signature chutneys
There will be plenty of time to taste, chat, and share ideas. You’ll leave with jars of your own creations, a head full of inspiration, and the confidence to keep experimenting in your own kitchen.
Don’t forget to bring two jars with lids – you’ll want to take your tasty creations home!
