Estill County Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent offered a food preservation workshop. The participants made and canned salsa using a researched based recipe.  Seven adults participated in the program.   Eighty-six percent of participants demonstrated safe knife skills after a demonstration. One hundred percent of participants identified research-based methods of home food preservation because of the program. One hundred percent of participants differentiated between high and low acid foods. One hundred percent of participants accurately prepared food products using the boiling water canning method of preservation.  One hundred percent identified signs of spoilage in home canned foods.  One of the participants came in the next day with ice cream for the office because he said he enjoyed the class so much.   A follow-up program is being planned to offer additional food preservation programming.
