Thursday
Program #12FM20 (see SUMMER guide)
Canning food has been a labor of love for generations of families! What was once done out
of necessity, today has become an opportunity to take control of the food you and your
family consume and slash the rising price of
store bought foods. Abundant fresh fruits,
vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood can
be savored all year. Best of all, you’ll always
be certain of the quality and freshness of the food in your
pantry. Canning is still a labor of love, but well worth it
when you take that first delightful bite of fresh food you
canned in your own kitchen. The skills we’ll learn “over
the woodstove” are applicable to modern cook stoves as
well. This class will build your hands-on skills. Take fear
out of using a pressure canner…no it won’t explode! We’ll
be using USDA approved techniques. Get a taste of great
accomplishment and the thrill of seeing summer’s bounty
safely stored in your pantry. MATERIALS TO BRING:
apron, sharp knife, vegetable peeler, cutting board. Age:
adult. Instructor: Donna Schott
