Home Food Preservation: Pears

Learn the basics of home food preservation with Master Food Preserver Christina Ward, who will lead the class in the latest and safest science-based canning techniques. This is a “hands-on,” beginning class where you’ll not only have fun and learn as you go, but you’ll participate in a traditional “communal” canning session with a product swap at the end — and take home samples of everyone’s creations.

This class will focus on the basics of pear butter, pear jams and more, utilizing the season's fresh crop of pears.

All participants will receive handouts on techniques and recipes. (Most materials provided; student provides 12 half-pint canning jars.)

Instructor:  Christina Ward, State of Wisconsin Master Food Preserver (UW-Extension)
