Preserving the Harvest- Pickling Vegetables and Pressure Cooker Demonstration 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. $10
It's home canning time again! Canning can be a safe and economical way to "put food by" as well as a source of enjoyment and pride for many. Learn about how to safely preserve food at home using a boiling water bath and a pressure canner. This series will be hands-on – with the participants helping prepare and process the products. It is geared to teach those who are new to home canning the basics and provide a refresher to experienced home canners. Many new research-based recommendations for canning safer and higher quality food at home are available today. It is critical that home canners, beginners and experienced, are aware of and follow the latest USDA guidelines.
For those planning to preserve food at home this summer season, it's also time to check out your equipment. Participants may have their pressure canners tested for safety and dial gauge pressure canners tested for accuracy before the programs for $5/canner.
UDSA Complete Guide to Home Canning manual will be available for purchase from OSU Extension- $20 each (cash or check only).
