Learn the process of hot water bath canning from start to finish as your instructors demystify the steps and help build your confidence to try it at home. Participants will explore the many benefits of canning, observe a full demonstration, get tips on recommended supplies, sample canned goods, and take home a half-pint jar of a canned product.
Hot water bath canning is an ideal entry point for first-time canners. It’s a great way to preserve your garden or farm stand favorites, enjoy seasonal produce year-round, and create thoughtful, homemade gifts. You'll leave class with the knowledge to begin canning right away and plenty of inspiration for future projects.
