Food Preservation

Author: Edith Lovett

Planning Unit: Pulaski County CES

Major Program: Food Preparation and Preservation

Plan of Work: Increasing Farm Profitability- NEW

Outcome: Initial Outcome

         For the new homemaker or new bride, Canning has become an art the younger generation is interested in.   The older generation may need their canning gauge checked yearly, but have been canning so long, food preparation is not one of their major concerns.

   Food Preservation Classes were offered after normal working hours for those clients that work outside of the home.   Although classes were open to everyone, those learning about Food Preservation and coming to classes were the younger clients.    Types of food preservation equipment, and different methods of food preservation were taught.  The clients were also encouraged to check out the needed supplies, such as pressure canners, dehydrators, jam and jelly maker, from the Extension before they purchased the item they were taught to use.  Although the numbers seeking help were low, 15 clients learned about different types of food preservation.   Interested canning clients continue to come in for help with their food preservation questions.
