In recent years, there has been increasing interest in home food preservation.

Canning, in the form of pickling, is a great way to enjoy seasonal foods all year long.

While this method of home food preservation has existed for centuries, we have learned much about the science behind this practice in recent years.

Home Food Preservation: Pickling will explain the scientific reasoning behind today’s recommended methods for making and processing pickled products while dispelling food preservation myths and unsafe practices of the past.

The registration fee is $15 and will take place at the Penn State Extension Office – Franklin County Ag Heritage Building, located at 185 Franklin Farm Lane, Chambersburg, PA.
