Learn To Preserve Fresh Fruits And Vegetables At Workshop

July 10, 2011

Escambia County Extension and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences will present a “Preserving the Essence of Summer Food Preservation Workshop.”

The workshop is Tuesday, July 26th, from 10:00 a.m. until noon, at the Langley Bell 4-H Center, 4810 W. Nine Mile Road.

Organizers say it is easy to preserve your juicy, ripe, fresh fruits and vegetables, and home canning is a wonderful way to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden or the local farmers’ market.

The workshop will teach the simple ways to save the season’s bountiful harvest and capture the fresh flavors of summer. The cost is only $5, but you must pre-register to
ensure adequate supplies.

To register or get more information, please contact Colethia Lewis, Escambia Extension, at (850) 475-5230 or colethia@ufl.edu.
