One of the best foods for learning how to can is tomatoes. We’ll be having a hands-on class at Avery’s Creek Community Center on Saturday August 22nd from 9am – 12pm. In this hands-on class we cover canning tomatoes with a water bath canner and a pressure canner. Because we cover both methods of canning, this class allows you to experience both techniques. We will also discuss freezing and dehydrating tomatoes as other options for preserving them for future use. Cost for the class is $10. Registration is required due to limited class size. For more information and/or to register, call our office at (828) 255-5522 or email Cathy Hohenstein at cmhohens@ncsu.edu.
