This lunch and learn workshop is free; however, class size is limited, so register early. Participants are invited to bring lunch to eat during class.
This workshop is designed for those who wish to gain knowledge on how to safely preserve meats, poultry and seafood at home. Dehydrating, canning and freezing will be covered.
Foods with low acidity, such as green beans and other vegetables, must be processed in a pressure canner following a tested recipe to ensure food safety and avoid the risk of botulism poisoning.
Meat, seafood and poultry must be processed in a pressure canner as well.
Foods with high acidity, such as pickles, jams, jellies and many fruits, are safe to process in a boiling water canner following a tested recipe.
