Popular once again, home canning offers a way to preserve fresh food, save on grocery bills, reduce carbon footprint by using locally grown foods, and avoid additives and preservatives. To serve this growing interest, Boone and Kenton County Extension offices offered food preservation workshops. Seventy-two participants canned jams and jellies, or carrots and tomatoes, and learned about proper freezing and drying techniques. After completing the class, 88% of participants reported understanding the precise steps that must be taken in order to can food safely. 100% of participants were able to successfully produce two canned products in class. As a result of the workshop the Kenton County Fair canned good entries increased by 123%.
