Food Preservation Series: Pressure Canning Workshop

Canning jars
Interested in learning how to make your own shelf-stable, canned vegetables, meats, and low-acid foods? We've got the class for you!


Join us May 29th, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the Sampson County Extension office Kitchen to learn about basic canning procedures, how to prevent food safety risks and food spoilage when canning, where to find safe recipes, and the science behind making a shelf-stable product through a presentation and hands-on workshop. Sydney will walk you through how to safely can a low-acid food as we pressure can a food item together!

We'll also explain how to use a pressure canner to process jars of vegetables and meats for shelf stability. Totally new to canning? Don't worry. We will provide an introduction to canning during this workshop. If you've been canning a while, you might be surprised at some recommended changes over the years.

Class cost is $15. Class size is limited due to the hands-on nature of the workshop and is on a first-come first-serve basis. Payment is required to reserve your spot.
