Now that summer has arrived, home & community gardens, roadside stands, farms and farmers markets are producing fruits and vegetables ready to be eaten or preserved. N.C. Cooperative Extension is now registering participants for a variety of home food preservation classes taught by Julie Sawyer, Family & Consumer Sciences Extension Agent in Haywood County. Classes will cover what supplies are needed to preserve food at home, how to identify a tested recipe, how to determine which foods require pressure canning versus hot water bath processing, how to adjust for altitude, how to prepare foods, jars and lids for canning and when to acidify foods.
