Canning Class

Canning and Food Preservation Made Easy

Join us for a fun afternoon learning how to preserve your favorite summer and fall produce. The canning and food preservation class will feature a hands-on preparation of a pressure canning recipe—succotash! Everyone will get to take home a jar! We’ll also discuss other methods of food preservation including water bath canning, freezing and drying. All participants will receive a packet of recipes and preservation instructions that they can use to preserve food at home. This is a great way to learn how to save your fresh produce to use all year long.
