News
Recently, Elizabeth L. Andress, Interim Director of FACS Extension, posted 17 short video clips on the National Center for Home Food Preservation website. These clips are excerpts from our for-sale So Easy to Preserve series, organized by concepts in Canning, Freezing and Drying of foods.
These videos can be accessed off the homepage, under What's New, for right now, or directly at http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/multimedia.html.
Remember, if people or organizations want to buy the whole So Easy to Preserve videos series, the latest order form is always found at www.soeasytopreserve.com .
