Master Class on Preserving

Sun, Oct. 11, 2026
11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

"Dinner with Anna" and Huis Van Gijn are joining forces to introduce you to an old-fashioned—yet now highly relevant and delicious—skill: canning!

Have you always wanted to know how to preserve fruits and vegetables in a flavorful way? During this fun workshop, Aan Tafel bij Anna will introduce you to the art of preserving—a skill that was an integral part of daily life around 1900.

In just two hours, you’ll learn the basics of canning and get to try it yourself. You’ll discover how to use simple techniques and high-quality ingredients to make delicious preserves to enjoy at home.

What are you going to do?

Together with Anna, you’ll dive into the world of Wecken—preserving and canning. You’ll learn how to safely and deliciously preserve fruits and vegetables, as well as which pairings and combinations work well, based on recipes from the time of Huis Van Gijn. You’ll get hands-on experience and take home something delicious.
