Each Spring we host an Introduction to Jam-Making Class. We use fresh strawberries as our medium since they make such a nice, bright preserve. All areas of home canning safety will be covered along with the jam-making process from washing and hulling to testing for doneness to jarring and storing. This is a hands-on class and at the end, everyone will depart with 2 jars of freshly made Strawberry Jam. Please note that we pride ourselves in making and teaching no pectin-added, low-sugar preserving. this style of jam-making is both science and art-based. We hope you enjoy the process and outcome as much as we do!
Aletha Thomas, the founder of both Monkeypod Jam and Cooking Kauai, teaches this introductory class. Her 15+ years of experience in both home and commercial preservation make her one of Hawaii's top authorities.
Age Requirement: Ages 16+
Location: The Cooking Kauai, Provisions Kitchen in Lawai. The exact location will be shared after registering.
Refund Policy
Due to limited seating and the upfront costs of food and its preparation, our classes are final and non-refundable.
Please consider signing up for our classes as you would purchasing a concert ticket-you can always send someone else in your place, but refunds cannot be issued.
Alternatively, you may reach out to us, and we will try our best to sell the seats on your behalf. If we do so, a future credit to a scheduled class will be issued.
Refunds will only be issued if Monkeypod Jam needs to shut down/cancel events due to unforeseen events or low participation (less than 6).
We appreciate your understanding that this is how we maintain our business and provide boutique-style service.
