Food Preservation Workshop

$25

with Laurie Bowen

Ever wonder how to preserve and use all of that great locally-grown produce? University of Maine Cooperative Extension food preservation workshops will teach you the basics of canning and freezing, including how to use pressure canners and water bath canners to preserve pickles, jam, and vegetables. Workshops are taught by UMaine Extension staff and Master Food Preserver Volunteers. All participants will receive a packet of information and a jar of what we make.  

Financial assistance is available; please email the UMaine Extension staff at extension.foodnutritioncumberland@maine.edu for more information.

You must register at least one week prior to the class to ensure that enough materials are ordered – no exceptions.
