Preserving Your Harvest, presented by UCCE Master Gardeners of Tuolumne County, Saturday, August 1st at 10:30 a.m.

This month we will discuss “Preserving Your Harvest.” If your garden produces more than you can eat within a couple of days, you’ll need to preserve the food so that it doesn’t go to waste. During this hour and a half presentation (with a break in the middle), UC Master Food Preservers will explain and demonstrate the basics of safely harvesting, freezing, dehydrating and canning your produce. Watch a live canning demonstration and receive a handout packet with information, recipes, video links and additional resources to help you confidently preserve your harvest.
