Sponsored by the Brown County UW-Extension Office
Instructed by Judy Knudsen, Brown County UW-Extension Family Living Educator
Jams & Jellies - June 15, 2010
Jams, jellies, preserves, conserves and marmalades are fruit products that are jellied or thickened. These soft spreads are fun to prepare and add class, as well as character, to any meal. They also make excellent gifts anytime throughout the year. This workshop will provide information and tips for making jams and jellies.
Canning Fruit – July 21, 2010
Because they are relatively easy to preserve, foods containing high amounts of acid like fruits are a popular choice with home canners. Putting up a variety of acid foods gives you year-round use of your favorite fruits, from rhubarb to gooseberries to cherries. Learn how to can a variety of fruits.
Pickling Vegetables – August 10, 2010
Home canners have long enjoyed the art of pickle-making. It is one of the oldest methods of preserving foods. In modern times, pickled cucumbers are commonly referred to as pickles. A pickle; however, is any fruit, vegetable or meat preserved in vinegar or brine. This workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to learn how to can cucumbers and other vegetables.
Canning Tomato Products – August 25, 2010
Tomatoes are probably the most popular home canned food. Their summer freshness can easily be preserved for seasons when it is not possible to run into the backyard for that right-off-the-vine taste. Canned tomatoes are excellent for preparing chili suppers, spaghetti sauces, casseroles and an endless variety of meal accompaniments. Information will be shared on canning tomatoes and salsa.
Drying Foods – September 21, 2010
Convenient to use and simple to store, dehydrated foods add another dimension to cooking and baking. This preservation method offers excellent results. Strategies will be shared for drying a variety of foods. Samples will be available for tasting how foods that are dried can be used in a variety of ways.
