Passata and Canned Tomato Preserving Class

Learn how to make passata and canned tomatoes in Sydney!



2 hours Location Glebe Class size 1 to 10 guests   $205 (Afterpay available)

Just in time for the end of tomato season, Cornersmith founder Alex Elliott-Howery is teaching her annual Tomato Day workshop. In this fun hands-on class, Alex will show you how to make the most of the tomato season this summer.
You will learn to make two kitchen staples: passata and canned tomatoes so you have a pantry full of tomato preserves all year round. This class will arm you with the skills and know-how to eat seasonally, rely less on the supermarkets and avoid nasty additives.
Alex will teach how fun and easy it is to preserve, while also covering food safety, jar sterilisation and heat processing, plus explaining the equipment and ingredients needed to get started in filling up the pantry for the year ahead.
