Food Preservation Class:"Preserve Now to Enjoy Later"

Thursday, May 24

9am-4pm

Houston County Government Building, Third Floor

Enjoy the bounty of your garden into the fall and winter months! Learn food preservation techniques especially for relishes, salsas, jam and jellies and seasoned vinegars. The morning session will feature making jams and jellies and preparing vegetables for relishes.  In the afternoon, we’ll make a sweet relish and a hot pepper relish.  Since we anticipate a bumper crop of tomatoes, we’ll make a salsa for you to enjoy.  Adding a splash of flavored vinegar to food is a way to enhance taste, so we’ll make several flavored vinegars using herbs from the home garden.

The cost for the class will be $25.00.  You will receive a packet of food preservation information targeting the topics included in the class. 

To register for the class, please download a registration form here and return with your check by May 17 to Houston County Extension, Food Preservation Class, 801 Main Street, Perry, GA 31069.
