Bottling Up The Season
Saturday 30 August 2025 9.30am - 12.30pm
Bottling isn’t just for passata! It’s a way to celebrate the abundance of the season and keep its flavours alive long after the harvest.
Join Jordy from the Little Patch Project for a hands-on, 3-hour workshop where you'll dive into the art of bottling the vibrant produce of Waring — the Wurundjeri season we know as late Autumn and early Winter. Think quince, citrus, apples, pears, rhubarb, beetroot, onions, squash, and cabbage — this season is bursting with possibilities!
Under Jordy’s warm and practical guidance, you’ll learn to craft and bottle three delicious preserves:
Rhubarb & Lemon Syrup
Orange and Beetroot Relish
Apple & Pear Pie Filling
You’ll take home a jar of each creation, along with a head full of preserving and bottling know-how and a belly full of seasonal samples! Printed recipes will be given out on the day and a digital version will be emailed after the workshop.
Workshop Highlights:
Get hands-on in pairs – share the fun and the learning
Take home 3 jars of your own handcrafted preserves
Taste a variety of seasonal delights throughout the session
What to Bring:
Aprons recommended (please bring your own if desired)
3 wide mouth jars with lids, up to 500ml each
Come for the flavour, stay for the joy, and leave with jars full of seasonal magic!
Location: The Kitchen, Hurstbridge Hub, 50 Graysharps Road, Hursbridge
Transport:
Train - The Hub is a 500m walk from Hurstbridge train station
Car - Free parking available onsite. Additional long-term parking is also available at the Ben Friday Oval located at 36 Graysharps Road, Hurstbridge
Bus - The Hub is a 650m walk from the Bus 343 Hurstbridge Station/Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd stop.
Both the train and bus are wheelchair accessible, and the route to the Hub is along sealed footpaths without steps.
Note on Ingredients: Ingredients will be clearly labelled but due to using a shared space and other limitations, alterations to recipes will not generally be possible.
