Boiling Water Bath Class

Author: Maranda Brooks

Planning Unit: Fayette County CES

Major Program: Food Preparation and Preservation

Plan of Work: Build Engaged and Empowered Communities

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Boiling water bath class was held on August 19th for a group of UPS women whom have formed a union women's committee called Teamsters. The class was a collaborative effort of AnnHall- Food preservation specialist and FCS. Our recipe included pickled green beans. 4 ladies attended and FCS agent checked on their pickled green beans over the weekend and they were canned magnificently. FCS gathered post program evaluation which successfully indicated all 100% of attendees prior to the class most knew little to none information about boiling water bath canning method and after the program they 100% expressed confidence in sharing the method with others.  All 100% participants plans to boil water bath veggies in the future and gained useful hands on experience during the program. This program resulted in an intitial outcome to help empower these women working in a industrial field that they have indicated can be often male dominate. The attendees expressed enjoyment with being able to bond together as coworkers outside of work.
