Water Bath Canning Class
Thursday, June 14th, 6pm
Join us on June 14th as Melinda Hill from OSU talks about using water bath canning to make various fruit jams, jellies and other preserves. Whether you’re a total beginner or you want some tips and tricks or you have some questions, this class will give you some great information. Melinda’s talk will start at 6pm and last about an hour and a half. And we’re covering the speaker fee, so it’s free for all attendees! Please sign up using our online form here, so we know approximately how many people to prepare for.
Melinda will also be back later in the summer (July 19th) to talk about pressure canning vegetables. We’ll get information for that class posted soon.
