Strawberry Jam Canning Workshop
Let’s JAM!
📍 CREW (Mount Jackson, VA)
📅 Friday, May 31st
⏰ 10 AM – 12 PM
*Final jam product must be picked up from Shady Hill in New Market after the event to allow the jars to settle. We can also find a time to meet you as we drive through the county during the week. We are flexible!
Whether you're brand new to canning or just want some company in the kitchen, this is the perfect workshop for you. We'll walk through the full jam-making process together, talk about ways to use up your berries (beyond toast!), and learn how to preserve one of spring’s sweetest gifts to enjoy all year long.
🎟️ Three Ticket Options – Something for every level!
🍓 Everything – $65
Includes:
Hands-on jam-making experience
Local strawberries
All ingredients + canning supplies
Your own jam (yield: ~four ½-pints & eight ¼-pints)
You’ll leave your jam overnight at CREW and pick it up the next week from Shady Hill Homestead (New Market, VA) or we’ll coordinate a Strasburg-area drop-off with Ashley.
🍓 Berries & Education – $45
Includes:
Full workshop experience
4 quarts of local strawberries to take home
You’ll learn everything during class, then head home to preserve on your own time. Enough berries to make ~four ½-pints & eight ¼-pints of jam (or whatever size jars you prefer!).
📝 Education Only – $12
Just here to learn? Bring a notebook and enjoy the process with us. You’ll soak up all the canning know-how, but won’t take home berries, jars, or jam.

A quick heads-up:
Jam is sweet—on purpose! Unlike some low-sugar or salt-only preserves, strawberry jam requires a good amount of sugar to set properly and taste amazing. This is a treat. If that’s not your jam (😉), stay tuned for future classes featuring green beans, applesauce, tomatoes, and more!
