Meals-In-A-Jar: Get Ready for Summer

Yes, it’s really is "REAL" food!   You haven’t tasted something this good since Sunday dinner at Grandma’s. It’s all from scratch and shelf stable up to 10 years.  PLUS we will samples some upcoming "Meals-in-a-Jar" meals during this class!

Using freeze dried and dehydrated foods, learn how to make and stock a deliciously popular, super healthy, main course meal suitable to many dietary needs--in your family's Home Food Pantry-Store.  This is a "quick and easy home-made pre-mixed meal" stored in Mason Jars, for long-term shelf life--where all you need to do later is add water!  

This workshop is inspired by the book, "The Gourmet Food Storage Handbook" by Stephanie Peterson.  Each "Meal-In-A-Jar" generally has 6-8 servings and costs about $2 per serving to make. This meal has been taste tested and approved by the instructor’s picky family and some of the Gorge Prep staff. We have weeded out the “less desirable” recipes for you so you can confidently join the “Meal-In-A-Jar” frenzy!

Store for long term preparedness or a busy weeknight meal. Decorate and give as gifts for many occasions. The “just add water” feature ensures the recipient or user of the meal will not need to supply additional ingredients. All you need is clean water and a heat source and you’ve got a delicious meal!

Attendees will purchase ingredients to make a “Ready-Dozen” (12 one quart jar) set of this meal. A few miscellaneous items you will provide from your own pantry. Complete list provided to you upon registration. Several items in your “Ready-Dozen” kit will have leftovers for you to take home. You will learn vacuum sealing techniques to create these shelf stable meals which last 5 to 10 years in your pantry.

Workshop materials provided: oxygen absorbing packets, jar labels, instructions, and some miscellaneous ingredients.
