UConn Students Learn About Canning

Pressure cooker workshop Pressure cooker2

UConn Extension‘s Diane Hirsch held a workshop for 12 students from the UConn Spring Valley Farm and the UConn EcoGarden Club as well as others. The focus was on pressure canning as the Spring Valley Farm students hope to purchase a pressure canner in the near future. Julia Cartabiano, the farm manager, made the arrangements so that we could use the kitchen at the Whitney Dining Hall. We canned applesauce that the students had made.
