Fruit bottling workshop - 10 March
30
Learn to bottle fruit
Monday 10 March 2025, 3pm – 5.30pm
The RESEED Centre, 30 King Edward St, Penguin
Join us for a relaxed afternoon of preserving fruit.
You will learn as we bottle fruit together, using the Fowlers method.
We will discuss keeping yourself safe and practice bottling nashi and pears, maybe other fruit too.
Bring:
Surplus produce for bottling (if you have any)
Your favourite peeler, knife & chopping board (we also have some to share)
Fowler’s jars, lids, clips, and sealing rings (if you have any)
Don’t worry if you don’t have any of these things.
Cost: $25 or CENTs / Simbi for workshop only,
$30 or CENTs / Simbi to take bottled produce home.
Bookings essential by 8 March:

When we have plentiful fruit (usually February and April), I can run a workshop to show you how to use the Fowlers Vacola system to bottle fruit.
It is easy for me to run this workshop in Penguin. In that case the cost is 30 CENTs / Simbi per person.
You can suggest other venues if you like.
In the meantime you can watch a video to learn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6ZdtXTjbNc
