FRIDAY FOOD PRESERVATION 101
Finding your freezer stuffed and no room to put your fresh seasonal produce to enjoy this winter? Canning may be your answer. Canning does require some specific steps to ensure a safe, shelf-stable product. Montana State University Extension is offering a series of basic food preservation classes online. The sessions will be held live on Fridays from 9:30 – 10:30 am. Topics include, water bath canning, pressure canning, freezing, sausage making, dehydration vs traditional drying and pickling.
On September 25, I will be presenting a Pressure Canning 101 session covering the equipment, why and how to use the pressure canner and up-to-date resource information. There will also be some time to ask your questions.
Registration is necessary to receive the connection details. Connecting to the series is available by phone or online. If you cannot join us during the live sessions, recordings will be available to those who register. Registration is available at https://bit.ly/3hnU8fN. If you are not able to register online, call the Chouteau County Extension Office.
