Step back in time at Hallockville Museum Farm’s Hudson-Sydlowski House and learn how farm families preserved the harvest before the days of freezers, refrigerators, and grocery stores. In this hands-on workshop, participants will discover the traditional craft of making jam , guided by food preservation instructor Gabi Spielmann.
Before electricity came to the Hallock homestead in the mid-1900s, families relied on techniques like canning to ensure food throughout the long North Fork winters. During this interactive class, Spielmann will lead attendees through the full process -- from fresh berries to shelf-stable jam. Each participant will take home a jar of homemade berry jam and the knowledge to continue preserving at home.
