YOU CAN!: INTRO TO BASIC CANNING (9.6.14)- The Homestead Atlanta

Nothing is more satisfying than a pantry full of glistening jars, packed full of delicious, healthy, seasonal flavors - right at your fingertips. Stock your pantry with healthy produce including such things as fruit butters, relishes, condiments, tomato salsas, pickles – while learning how to avoid added sugars and salts and with no preservatives or artificial anything!

This Immersion Workshop is a complete hands-on small workshop that will give you the basics of safe food preservation using the most popular method: water-bath canning. We’ll explore and preserve three different products: a fruit, a tomato, and a pickle. And we’ll talk about how to use these pantry staples in everyday meal preparation, healthy snacks, tasty appetizers, desserts and more.

You’ll go home with a jar of each product to take home (3 in all) and the notebook used in the class covering the how-to’s and standards of canning along with recipes of the products. All supplies are included.
