Ever wonder how to preserve all those great garden fruits and vegetables? This food-preservation class will teach you the basic steps for canning, freezing, drying, and fermenting. Participants will receive a “Preserving the Harvest” food-preservation packet and will learn recommended methods for preserving foods, as well as the latest and safest recipes and equipment to ensure safety. Classes will be a combination of presentation and hands-on activities. No class July 4.

Kate McCarty has been the Food Systems Professional at UMaine Extension since 2009, after serving in the AmeriCorps VISTA program. She has completed the Master Food Preserver program, an intensive, hands-on training in all aspects of home food preservation. She is also the author on two books about Portland’s food scene and the history of alcohol in Maine.
