Canning workshop to be held

NDSU Extension is offering a Home Food Preservation Workshop to area residents on August 14, 2018 at 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Community Activities Center (CAC) Building located on the Foster County Fairgrounds.

Extension is your trusted source for accurate and safe food preservation guidelines, basing all programs on research. Food preservation guidelines have changed through the years. Recipes passed down from generations or found in old church cookbooks often contain outdated and unsafe procedures. In this workshop you will learn the science behind the methods of home food preservation.  

We will water bath can a high acid food - peaches and pressure can a low acid food - green beans. We will also learn how to freeze preserve green beans as an alternative safe method of preserving low acid produce. All participants will receive a course materials binder and take home their preserved items.

The cost for the workshop is $15 and limited to 12 participants. The registration fee can be mailed to the Foster County Extension Service at P.O. Box 80 Courthouse, Carrington ND 58421 or dropped off in the Extension office located on the second floor of the Foster County Courthouse before August 3, 2018.
