Peel the Love: Preserving Holiday Leftovers

  • Lurvey Home & Garden Center 2550 East Dempster Street Des Plaines, IL 60016 (map)

Turn holiday leftovers into something delicious! Learn easy preserving tricks and take home your own jar of citrus sugar.

Don't toss it — preserve it. Join Certified Master Food Preserver Amy Parlette for a class on giving your holiday leftovers a second life.

Post-Thanksgiving kitchens are full of citrus peels, cranberries, and half-used herb bunches headed for the trash. You’ll watch (and help!) as Amy demonstrates easy, low-effort ways to preserve them instead — dehydrated citrus slices, citrus salt and sugar, and more — so nothing seasonal goes to waste.

You'll leave with:

  • Recipes for dehydrated citrus slices and citrus salt/sugar

  • Your own jar of citrus sugar to take home for inspiration

  • Simple, no-equipment-needed techniques you can use with whatever's left in your fridge

  • Ideas for stretching holiday abundance a little further

Come for the class, stay for the inspiration—explore Lurvey's seasonal offerings and discover tools, plants, and pantry-ready goods to take your garden-to-table game to the next level!
