Do you have a pressure canner but don’t yet feel confident to use it?  Learn about food safe handling methods for harvesting and processing meats and seafood.  Students will learn the science of why meats and seafood need to be pressure canned, and all about types of pressure canners.  This class will include classroom instruction and hands-on practice with pressure canning and will present safe recipe sources for home preserving.
