Learn how to can goods at upcoming class

Interested in preserving fruits and vegetables (beans, cucumbers, cabbage, cauliflower, peppers), and salsas and sauces?

Coming up on Saturday, March 6, University of Wyoming Extension is offering a one-day home canning course, which will cover canning, preserving and pickling. Participants will learn about safe canning and make a couple recipes. 

The class is being held at the Powell Research and Extension office just north of town — at 747 Road 9 — and will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost is $20.

Class leaders say the course is good for home processors and those selling under the Wyoming Food Freedom Act. Course instructor Dr. Gleyn Bledsoe brings a vast experience and knowledge of food regulations, processing and safety, and is a recognized processing authority who educates and assists food entrepreneurs and food companies.

To register for the class, visit uwyoextension.eventbrite.com.

Other classes are available on the site, including one on preserving acidified foods that fall under FDA regulation (the supervisor training of the Better Process Control School), another on reducing the risk of foodborne illness from garden and farm produce (Good Agricultural Practices, or GAPs), and one on earning extra money by selling items online.
