Preserve at Home!

Sat. Oct. 23 / 11AM
Preserving at home is a great activity for all ages to get into the kitchen and have something fresh-tasting months later. Get more complex with canning and fermenting or keep things simple with drying and freezing. This free workshop will cover needed equipment, supplies to get started preserving, and recipe resources to preserve safely. Attend just for the information, or sign-up for the optional hands-on activity where we will freeze fall fruits to take home. Ages 7+, accompanied by an adult.

PLEASE NOTE: Space is limited and advance registration is required by calling 217-935-5174.
