The third workshop sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension, Calhoun/Jersey Unit, designed to provide community members with the skills and information they need to be sustainable and, to an extent, self-reliant, particularly in these challenging economic times.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your bumper crop of tomatoes? Are you wondering what to do with all those zucchini or bell peppers? Don’t let the harvest go to waste, learn to preserve it for year round enjoyment. This evening workshop taught by Carol Schlitt, Extension Educator, Nutrition and Wellness, covers the basics of food preservation, from canning to freezing
