Do you want to learn how to frugally prepare and preserve your own fruits and vegetables for the winter? I am offering two classes in the basics of canning (fruits, tomatoes and pickles), and freezing/drying of fruits and vegetables. Classes are fun, chock-full of info, and hands on!

Background:

I began canning in the early 70s (I know that dates me!) during an economic recession. Years later I received extensive training in food preservation from Oregon State University, where I earned a degree in Home Economics with a focus on food and nutrition. Along with the training and decades of experience, I’ve always enjoyed “putting up” my own food. There is a sense of satisfaction viewing my shelves lined with canned goods that I preserved myself.

Class Summary:

Both classes will include a history, the science behind making foods safe to consume, demonstrations, techniques, safety precautions, equipment, supplies, tips, recipes and more! A “tasting” will be included- that is, a comparing the quality of home canned vs. store bought, soup made from dried veggies, and frozen vs. canned etc.
