Summertime is just around the corner, which means many of you are preparing to plant your summer edible garden (which is a great CRC Action)! Another action that complements growing an edible garden is learning how to can and preserve, so you can enjoy the bounty year-round. Why not can those tomatoes, ferment that cabbage into sauerkraut, and preserve those strawberries? You’ll set yourself up for a fall and winter full of delicious treats that will take you back to the warm summer days in the garden.
So you pledged to “preserve the bounty” this year, but you need some help getting started? Consider signing up for Sustainable Contra Costa’s Home Canning and Preserving Workshop, which is being held in September.
