Hands-On Pickle Making [CANCELLED]

Pickles are a refreshing and healthy summer treat, in addition to an easy and fun ferment to make at home. This class will cover the basics of fermentation, brining, and pickling with recipe variations and troubleshooting techniques. Attendees will leave a quart of pickles to ferment at home, as well as a packet of information to aid in further home fermentation experiments.

Along with her husband, Luke, Rachel Armistead is co-owner of Sweet Farm Sauerkraut, a Frederick-based fermented foods company that uses traditional fermentation methods to produce fresh, tangy, and probiotic ‘krauts from organic vegetables, sea salt, and spices.

Participants must bring a quart-sized Mason jar and lid to the class. Additional jars and other fermentation equipment will be available for purchase.
