Savoring Summer: Safely Preserving Your Harvest

Growing your own food is one of the main reasons many people start gardening. And there's no better way to savor the season than preserving your homegrown fruits and vegetables for later enjoyment. But do you know how to can, freeze, and dry safely, or what equipment you really need? Watch this webinar to learn safe methods of food preservation and explore reliable resources and tested recipes, so you can fill your shelves—and maybe those of your family and friends—with your summer surplus.
