Tuesday, September 2, 10 – noon  Water Bath and Pressure Canning:  What’s the Difference?  We’ll learn which method of food preservation to use for which foods and make salsa.

Tuesday, September 16, 10 – noon  Frozen Assets:  Using Your Freezer for Make Ahead Meals  We’ll practice with recipes from a “local foods cookbook” using produce from the Growing Together Garden at the Cable Community Farm.

Classes are free of charge, but you must register by contacting Caroline Perkins at 715-798-4268 or sperkins@cheqnet.net.  You may come to one, two, or all three classes!  This series is sponsored, in pat, by a grant from the Community Opportunity Fund of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation.
