Canning, Freezing, and Drying Fruits and Veggies

Canning, freezing, and drying are great ways to preserve the food you grow or purchase from your local farmer. Remove the mystery and fear out of preserving your food using the boiling water bath & pressure cooking methods of canning. Class is hands-on, so bring your apron and your knives. Learn about the equipment you need, the process, and precautions to make it totally safe. We will also talk about freezing and drying food and how to do that safely. It's all taught by one our 'regulars', Charli Vogt, RN who loves doing anything that involves the kitchen. You will have fun as well as learn a TON of information. www.BeyondTheMeasuringCup.com
