Preserve the Taste of Summer - Home food preservation isn't difficult, but it does require following specific directions exactly.

 

ISU Extension has six coordinating and recently revised publications with the new food preservation program, Preserve the Taste of Summer. Just ask for

  • PM 638 - Canning and Freezing: Tomatoes - Stocking a cupboard or freezer with home-preserved tomatoes can be a satisfying experience, if you have the time and necessary equipment.
  • PM 1044 - Canning and Freezing: Vegetables - Vegetables are low in acid and require processing in a pressure canner with a weighted control or dial gauge.

Remember, too, that you may test your pressure cooker lid guage at the Warren County Extension office.  Call 515-961-6237.
