Canning class is March 9

It’s home canning time again. Soon, local kitchens will be filled with canning equipment to preserve fresh produce from gardens and local markets. For those wanting to learn how to “put up” food by canning this spring and summer, come join Sarah Barnwell, extension agent, for a pressure canning class.
Class will be from 10:30 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 9, in the demonstration kitchen at N.C. Cooperative Extension, 25 Referendum Drive in Bolivia.
Barnwell will teach the basics of home food preservation, food preservation safety, and the basics of pressure canning. This will also be the time to obtain up-to-date food preservation recipes and to order “So Easy To Preserve,” the Extension home food preservation recipe book and guide.
Advance registration is required; seating is limited. Call 253-2610 to register by March 7.
