Preserving the Harvest - Begins July 18, 2009.
Learn how to safely can the abundant harvest our local farms and gardens provide for your family to enjoy next winter.
Juicy ripe peaches, snapping fresh green beans, sweet raspberry jelly, and crunchy dill pickles – nothing tastes better than home-canned foods. In addition, a well-stocked pantry is a big first step towards ensuring your family always has access to plenty of healthy food. However, safely canning fruits, vegetables, jellies, and jams requires a bit of knowledge, a solid amount of time, and a small investment in equipment.
Starting Saturday, July 18, 2009 you can learn how to safely preserve the local harvest in a series of four Saturday workshops at WSU Snohomish County Extension in Everett.
