Basic Home Food Preservation


Adult / Cooking & Nutrition -
Winter/Spring 2025

With the growing season nearly upon us, it's time to learn the basics of home preservation. Homemade jams, spicy salsas, fresh beans and fermented cabbage can all be enjoyed during the cold winter months. Home canning of fresh food provides a number of benefits, including lower grocery bills, sustainable lifestyles and better nutrition through control of the ingredients that go into your food. Once you know the basics, home canning is really quite easy. This class will introduce you to the tools/equipment, food safety and produce/ingredient selection needed to be successful this season and for many years to come.
