About the event
Join Lexy Baird for a lecture and live demo on the time-honored food preservation method, water bath canning. You’ll learn the fundamentals of safe water bath canning while exploring how to transform plump tomatoes into delicious shelf-stable sauces and preserves. Lexy will walk us through the entire canning process from start to finish, covering equipment, ingredient selection, recipes and resources, food safety guidelines, proper processing techniques, and best practices for storage. During our lecture you’ll enjoy tastings, compare flavors and discover creative ways to use each throughout the year. Walk away with samples from class, recipes and resources and the confidence to preserve at home! Light snacks will be provided.
This event is $60 for members and $60 for nonmembers.
