The joy of winter preserves

Need a way to beat the post-holiday letdown? Two words: Lemon curd. Two more: Orange marmalade. Feeling perkier? Michelle Fuerst, this year's Culinary Fellow at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga (you'll be hearing more about her in the coming weeks), will teach a Winter Preserves workshop Jan. 30, with the focus on citrus. Participants will learn canning techniques and take home a jar of preserves. Tickets: $30. Signups: 408-961-5858, http://montalvoarts.org.
