This week our special guests will be Lisa Bell and Hannah Fincham from WVU to talk about "Home Canning and Preserving”. This time of year, home gardeners are harvesting an abundance of vegetables to can and preserve to enjoy all winter. There are many reasons to can and preserve vegetables at home. First, it allows you to enjoy your vegetables even when they are out of season. You can also save money by harvesting excess fruits and vegetables from the garden or buy in bulk when they are in season at the farmers market, then preserve for later use. Canning and preserving also allows you to control the quality of the food you eat by using fresh ingredients and avoiding preservatives and other additives that are often found in store-bought canned goods. Lisa and Hannah will provide advice and recommendations for preserving a safe, nutritious and delicious homemade product.
