Topic: Making & canning raspberry jam
Teacher: Lisa Domalski
Lisa Domalski has been an integral part of our pick-your-own fruit operation for more than three years now. Prior to working here, Lisa had never been a fan of eating fruit, much less canning or preserving. But after trying Weaver's delicious fresh fruit, she became one of our biggest advocates of picking, eating and canning fruit. She's been featured in articles on our blog, in the Reading Eagle and Pottstown Mercury for her jam-making expertise.
