Workshop Title: Jam/Jelly Preservation Technique
Workshop
Learning Objective: Participants will be able to measure a solid and a liquid by volume.
Life Long Learning/
Adult Ed. Standards: Thinking: Decision Making, Learning to Learn, & Service Learning
Math Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.2 (Volume – liquid & dry), SD Goal 3
Science Standards: HS.PS1 Matter and Its Interactions (NGSS Release, 2013)
Supplies Needed: Food preservation jelly mason jars (# depending on class size or number of jelly batches preserved), sugar, pectin, spices if called for in recipe, fruit or fruit juice, etc. (follow the recipe selected by class planning). Canning equipment for a hot water bath canning process (for example: tall cooking pot with lid, rack that fits inside pot, lid to pot, jar lifter, lid lifter, heavy bottom cooking pot, bowls, etc.)
Lab Instructions: 1. Obtain all supplies above before workshop/lesson. (Or allow class participants to plan out supplies needed for activity.)
2. Organize them for the experiment.
3. Jam/Jelly Lab
For the entire lab:
a) Measure out sugar following a recipe into a bowl
b) Measure out juice (if already prepared) into a heavy bottom pot or cook fresh fruit in a heavy bottom pot to obtain fruit juice following a standard recipe.
c) Place on a hotplate (or stove) set on medium and allow fruit juice to warm.
d) Add premeasured sugar to juice slowly in the cooking pot and heat until a slow boil. Cook until juice will stay between tines in a metal fork (looks like a church window).
e) Pour liquid into sterilized jelly jars and heat process according to hot water bath method.
Evaluation Method: Questioner related to the workshop will be filled out by participants.
