The free event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Clearlake City Hall main council room, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Tippett will share her many years of knowledge and also demonstrate the basics of canning tomatoes and making jam.
She has been in the food business for many years, and initially became interested in canning when she saw apples in a nearby orchard going to waste. So she picked up a well-known book, “The Joy of Cooking,” and taught herself how to can.
Fast forward to the present, Tippett is selling her canned goods to five boutiques in Lake County. She is a self-taught chef as well, owning two cafes in the past and is currently the chef at the Corkman’s Clipper Irish Pub in Clearlake.
Join Tippett and the co-op this Saturday and be inspired to can all those fruits and vegetables in your garden, so they, too, won’t go to waste.
