With Summer right around the corner you should not wait to learn how to CAN. Sign up today and we will get you started with a solid foundation so you will be able to preserve this years harvest.
Do you know how to use a "Canner" to preserve foods for you and your family? If not we will be starting with Water Bath canning for your high acid foods like cucumbers.
We will also make a Jam using a lower sugar option with Pomona's pectin.
There are differences in the types of canning processes based on the acidity of the product being preserved. If you preserve a product with the wrong process you run the risk of allowing bad bacteria to grow. This will make all the effort into preserving a waste of time, money, and product.
If you would like to learn those differences and climb aboard the preserving bandwagon then sign up for one of our classes. This 3 hour session will show you how to prep, process, and "put up" your surplus fruit and vegetables. Each date will process a different type of fruit and/or vegetable.
We will make Pickles, Strawberry Jam and another item using the Water Bath Canner. Please bring 3 pint sized jars with you.
Demonstration of the Pressure Canner is also included.
