by

Join Porter Square Books for a demonstration by Marisa McClellan at Tags Hardware, 25 White Street in Cambridge, on Thursday, July 19 beginning at 6 pm.

Preserving delicious canned fruits, yummy jams, and savory pickles has never been easier with McClellan’s essential guide to home preserving and canning. Perfect for the urban dweller and unlike other books on canning and preserving, Food in Jars offers small-batch recipes ideal for tiny kitchens, says McClellan. McClellan is a food blogger and a creator of the online cooking show “Fork You”. She is a former writer and editor for Slashfood, one of the nations biggest and most widely read food websites. She writes about canning, pickling, and preserving on her blog, Food in Jars.

Marisa will be demonstrating a canning procedure for jam at TAGS at 6pm on the 19th. PSB will be on hand selling copies of her book . Be sure to stock up on your canning supplies when you are there!
