CANFIELD, Ohio — It’s that time of year again — soon jars of jams, jellies and canned vegetables will be lining pantry shelves and pressure canners will find their way out of the cupboards. For many, canning is a source of enjoyment and provides an economical way to store food, but a faulty pressure gauge or incorrect procedure can cause problems.
To learn about canning basics and safe canning procedures, join us at one or all of our Canning and Food Safety classes. Classes will be held June 28, July 26 and Aug. 9 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Mahoning County Extension office, 490 South Broad Street, Canfield, OH. Topics such as jams and jellies, canning tomatoes and drying apples will be covered by the Mahoning County Master Gardeners. Participants can also bring in their pressure canners to be tested for safety and accuracy.
Registration for one class is $15 per person, and registration for all three classes is $40 per person. To register or learn more, contact Mahoning County Extension at 330-533-5538 or visit go.osu.edu/canning2018.
