It's fall, and what are you going to do with all that produce coming up?
RIPE Altadena is sponsoring a beginner's class in pressure canning at the Zane Grey Estate on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 1-4 PM.
Master Food Preserver Steve Rudicel will teach you to use a pressure canner and expand your range of home-preserved foods to include low acid vegetables, soups, stews, sauces, chilis, and more.
With a pressure canner you are able to safely can vegetables, meats, soups, stews, sauces, chilies, and all sorts of deliciousness. Jams, jellies and pickles are wonderful flavor enhancers that add to a meal. Pressure canning lets you preserve the main course
In Pressure Canning for Beginners, you will learn about types of pressure canners, pressure canner safety, safely canning low-acid foods, and how pressure canning can be used to feed your family.
Participants will take one pressure canned item home with them along with recipes and information that cover the basic canning categories (vegetables, meat & soup)
The Zane Grey Estate is at 396 Mariposa Street. Gates open at 12:30; a parking attendant will direct you where to park on the property. Car pooling recommended if possible.
Cost is $20.00 in advance before Sept 22nd, 2013 at 11:59 PM; $25.00 from Sept 23 - 27, 2013. If space allows, $35 at the door.
