CANNING AND PRESERVING CLASSES

SO EASY TO PRESERVE CLASSES with CORNELL COOP EXTENSION SEPT 6 AND 7

When your garden overflows with plump red tomatoes and the farmers' market explodes into rows of brilliantly colored fruits and vegetables, it's time to join in the flavorful tradition of preserving good food. Whether you are just getting started or you've been preserving food for awhile we recommend that you review the basics of canning foods with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County. Come and learn the newest research and techniques for canning using two techniques: water bath and pressure canning.

This year based on consumer requests we are offering food preservation classes at the following locations:

Hanford Mills, East Meredith
September 6, 2008 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Canning demonstrations focusing on hot water and pressure canning with a packet of food preservation resources on canning, drying and freezing food.

September 8, 2008 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Canning demonstrations featuring hot water and pressure canning with a review of canning, drying and freezing food preservation resources, procedures and tested recipes.

Jeanne Darling, Executive Director/Extension Educator and Carol Brannen, Master Food Preserver, will be teaching these classes and sharing current recommended food preservation resources with participants. Cornell Cooperative Extension educators will also be preserving food with daily demonstrations at the Delaware County Fair.

"Easy Ways To Utilize Various Plants And Herbs As Food For Wellness"

Nurse-Herbalist, Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower presents an informative discussion on her favorite subject, "Eating Seasonally, with herbs as food, and foods as our best medicine."

Beginning with the simple joys of tea making,including infusions and decoctions, we'll discuss how old ways blend with new knowledge in the use of foods and herbs as our best nutrients.


Herbs have always been a part of our food chain. How did they become separate from what we know to be as food? Or did they? What is an herb? What separates them from being a food? And how do we choose these herbs and foods from season to season to maintain optimal health?


As we are now long out of our winter hibernating time, hear about the specific herbs and foods we can chose to help support a balanced system. Receive a take home chart as a guide that is easy to follow and adaptable to specific dietary needs.

Sunday May 25th, 1 to 3pm, @ the Masonville General Store, 607.265.3808
$10 Pre-registration required as class size is limited
