I went to Machine Project's fruit jam last year and it was a blast.

    Sunday August 3rd from 12-3pm brings the return of our favorite summer ritual, jam making with Fallen Fruit. Jams 
will be based on the fruit that the participants provide. The fruit can be fresh or frozen. Fallen Fruit will bring 
public fruit. We are looking for radical and experimental jams as well, like basil guava or lemon pepper jelly. We'll 
discuss the basics of jam and jelly making, pectin and bindings, the aesthetics of sweetness, as well as the communal 
power of shared food and the liberation of public fruit. When the jam is done, it is spooned into small, hopefully 
recycled jars, and the participants take some of their own, leave some for others, and perhaps take a jar of another 
team's jam. Bring fruit, small glass jars, a willingness to share the goods and an enthusiasm for delicious jam chaos. 
Free.
