It’s Pickle Time!

Canning Beans Safely! 

Tuesday, July 15th

One of the most popular foods to can is beans, but it can also be one of the riskiest to eat if not canned safely. Come, can beans together with us and learn the latest recommendations for canning your beans to use later in those wintertime casseroles. This class will cover using weighted and gauge pressure canners as well as discuss the importance of adjusting pressure for canning at higher altitudes. Cost $10.

Putting Tomatoes By!

Thursday, July 24th

We will also discuss freezing and dehydrating tomatoes as other options for preserving them for future use. Cost $10. Please register and pay before 8/21/25 to secure your spot.
