Getting Started with Home Canning
- Workshops - in-person and webinars: Extension workshops are a great way to learn more about home canning. Webinars are recorded and available to view whenever is most convenient to you. In-person workshops are available seasonally (usually spring -fall) - check the Calendar of Events for more details.
- Dial gauge testing: USDA recommends that dial gauges on pressure canners be tested annual to ensure accuracy. Extension can test Presto dial gauges at no cost to you - contact us to schedule an appointment.
