In these tough economic times, with increasing prices of food and gas, more people are gardening and preserving their garden foods. Fifty-six individuals attended an evening workshop on food preservation taught by the Harlan County Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent and Assistant. The participants learned proper and safe techniques for canning, freezing, and drying. The participants gained hands-on skills to better understand the principles behind the various food preservation techniques. Importance of following proper instructions to address the food safety issues for home food preservation was addressed. Relevant UK Extension publications were provided to all participants. 80% said that they learned the importance of proper canning procedures.
