Free Watch Party: Canning Foods at Home | Belvidere | on-site dial-gauge pressure canner testing

Join us for a Free Webinar Watch Party: Canning Foods at Home at the Ida Public Library! Preserve your harvest safely and confidently! 🌽🥒 Canning uses heat to eliminate harmful germs and create vacuum-sealed jars that keep your food shelf-stable. 🥫 Understanding the science behind canning is key—proper heating and acidity level can prevent the growth of molds, yeasts, and bacteria.

This event is a great introduction for newcomers and an excellent refresher for experienced canners! We'll also offer dial-gauge pressure canner testing on-site—bring your lid for a check-up! 🛠️ Remember, testing should be done yearly.
