Learn To Preserve Fresh Fruits And Vegetables At Workshop
July 30, 2011
Due to an overwhelming response, Escambia County Extension and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences present another “Preserving the Essence of Summer Food Preservation Workshop.”
The workshop is on Saturday, August 20, 10 a.m. until noon, at the Langley Bell 4-H Center, 4810 W. Nine Mile Road.
Organizers say it is easy to preserve your juicy, ripe, fresh fruits and vegetables, and home canning is a wonderful way to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden or the local farmers’ market.
The workshop will teach the simple ways to save the season’s bountiful harvest and capture the fresh flavors of summer. The cost is only $5, but you must pre-register to ensure adequate supplies.
To register or get more information, please contact Colethia Lewis, Escambia Extension, at (850) 475-5230 or colethia@ufl.edu.

I am VERY glad they are having another workshop. I could not attend the first one. Even if it is late for this season, it is a headstart on the next one. Not to forget the winter crops like turnips and such.
>>This should have been done earlier in the season…..so many veggies are going or gone.
It was. The response was so great they decided to do it again.

I went to the first workshop last week and enjoyed it. There was really good information given, especially for anyone just starting out canning.
If you’re interested in canning at all, you should try and make it to the next workshop. I look forward to it.
Thanks to the Extension for providing these workshops.
