Food Preservation Workshop, Cooperative Extension Service - July 9, 2009

Now that you have a bumper crop of new fruits and vegetables in your garden, do you know how to safely preserve them for future use?

Do you know the difference between the boiling water bath and pressure canning methods? Which method is safe for canning your green beans and other low-acid foods?

These are important questions, and Teresa Wiley, the family and consumer science agent for Cherokee County Cooperative Extension, can help you learn how to safely preserve the fruits of your labors.

They will host a Food Preservation Workshop in Murphy on July 9, 2009.
