  • Course Overview

    Preserving is an age-old technique that was a necessity before the arrival of refrigeration. Today we still preserve the seasons, although many ingredients are available all year round, as these processes add unique and delicious flavours. This course will focus on preserving food with salt, sugar, and vinegar and you will produce local favourites like biltong, chutneys, pickles and jams.
