Food Preservation

Tomatoes and potatoes that were grown in the school polytunnel along with homegrown fruits and vegetables  kindly gifted to the Home Economics Department from various teachers all resulted in lots of delicious products for students and staff to enjoy.

A great opportunity for students to see a range of preservation techniques in action in the classroom – crab apple jelly, beetroot relish, shatta – a Palestinian condiment made from red chilli’s, tomato sauce and salsa were on the menu. Thanks Mr Cunnane for the beetroot, Ms Colum for the crab apples and Ms Parke for the homegrown chillies.
