Why Go: It's summer and the summer fruits are delicious, but they won't always be around. So why not learn to jam them to have them later in the year. And you can learn to do this from an expert—Pim Techamuanvivit of ChezPim. Here's what's on the table—a basic, straight-up berry jam without using commercial pectic, followed by a herb-infused berry jam. Next comes a berry conserve with whole fruits, and last but not least, Blenheim apricot jam.
Pricing: $115
Where/When: 231 Esplanade, Capitola. Saturday and Sunday, all day.
Why Go: Don't miss this annual Capitola car show, featuring over 300 hot rods, including muscle cars, coupes, roadsters, customs and classics. These cars are vintage to 1972. Who doesn't enjoy looking at the cars that used to be? Great fun for the family and you are near the beach, too!
