I was part of the hands-on jam making and canning class with Nici. I am 73 years old and had not canned since I was in my 30s. Nici presented with expertise, good humor and simply understood instructions. It was fun and has given me the confidence to make jam for my grandchildren. I highly recommend!

I took a jam canning workshop from Nici and it was casual and fun and warm, really enjoyable. She made it simple and easy and gave us all the information we needed, while showing us as she went. We were all encouraged to participate and get hands-in experience as well. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious, and also may feel intimidated by canning - Nici makes it feel accessible and very doable and rewarding.

I really enjoyed this workshop! I've always been a little intimidated of the canning process, and this was a great way to learn. The videos were helpful because you could go back and listen again, or pause on instructions as you worked. Excited to see what is next!

My parents used to can bushels of tomatoes from our family garden and I always thought it was a mysterious and difficult process. I inherited their canning pot and it sat in my basement for ten years. I decided to take Nici's online preserving class and was pleasantly surprised to find it was an easy and affordable process. Nici provided materials that were very easy to follow. I canned twelve pints of applesauce and purchased some recommended canning books for more recipes down the line. Nici was quick to answer questions and made the whole class an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this class! It is both satisfying and joyful to preserve food and I promise you, it's much easier than you think! Thanks, Nici!

The canning workshop helped me have the confidence to can all on my own. Although pretty adept in the kitchen (if I do say so myself) I had never held the reigns for canning. I'd help friends and do what I was told, but had never thought it all through myself. I'd gathered all my supplies and pitted my plums and pulled out the booklet to double and triple check the process. First attempt was a successful batch of plum jam and already looking ahead to next summer's options. Ketchup is at the top of my list!
