Major Program: Food Preparation and Preservation
In the fall of 2023, the Family Consumer Science Agent offered a class on Freezing/Dehydrating and preserving apples. ?We discussed freezing & dehydrating fresh fruit. We dehydrated some apples & made some apple pie filling that is ready to eat or be frozen. ?This group of participants did a marvelous job & had lots of fun learning together. The participants all stated they learned something. They all stated that they would be interested in taking more food preservation classes.
