A Cool Canning Workshop

Last week I went to a canning workshop, held at this cool vegan kitchen called The People's Potato that serves free lunches every single week day during the school year at Concordia University. This was the first time I've seen their space, and woah is it nice! HUGE kitchen. Like, huge, with lots of shiny equipment. And it was really nice that not only was the canning workshop offered there, but it was offered for free. And since I've been wanting to start canning for a while now, but have been too terrified to try yet, it seemed like a good idea for me to go!

The workshop facilitators were great, the attendees really nice, and we each got to go home with a jar of Vietnamese pickles (which are extremely tasty) and apple butter (which smelled and looked positively delicious, though I haven't tasted it yet). Good times. And if you want to see a bit of it, there's an album of the workshop posted on Facebook!

Canning is cool.
