Home Canning Class

Preserving food at home may seem like a complex or even frightening process. But by attending one of Hillsborough County Extension’s home canning classes, getting fruits and vegetables from the garden to the jar can be easy and fun. With the interest in past classes, the extension has scheduled additional classes to be held through May at the Extension Office, 5339 County Road 579 in Seffner.

Classes demonstrate equipment and procedures. Participants will receive recipes and information enabling them to go home ready to begin canning. A $5 donation is requested to cover costs.

The next class, on canning pickles and jam, will be held Feb. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m.
