  • Sunday, August 29, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm – Total Tomato, Online

    Wondering what to do with your bounty of tomatoes? Preserve them, of course! In this August 29 New York Botanical Garden webinar, Stephen Nocera will show you the best ways to process and hot pack your harvest, with a simple method borrowed from industrial canning. We’ll make a chili tomato salsa, marinara sauce, and crushed tomatoes for the pantry, all of which can be safely preserved for future use. When you’re dining on fresh tomatoes come December, you’ll be thankful you came!

    Please note, while participants are not expected to cook along with the demonstration, the materials list explains what supplies you’ll want in the house so you can put what you’ve learned into action after class. Access that list, and register ($49) HERE.
