Going Green: Money Saving Canning and Preserving

John Michael Lerma Fresh from the Minnesota State Fair! John Michael Lerma grew up on a farm in North Dakota where he learned to can and preserve foods that his family grew on their own land. He will share safety techniques, menu ideas and recipes that will help you stretch your food dollar for your family. Freezing, water bath canning, blanching, and home food vacuum techniques will be covered in class. We will also make Homemade Apple Butter, Vidalia Onion Relish, Sweet Cucumber Relish, Canned Roma Tomatoes, and a seasonal jam, all to be sampled in a variety of ways.
