Preserving Floyd: Strawberry Links and Waterbath Class Pics

The waterbath class was well attended and a great success.  I'm really looking forward to future classes and the next class will be on pressure canning basics.  As soon as we are able to find a site to hold the class I'll publish the details.  The Master Food Volunteers and the Floyd-Montgomery Counties Cooperative Extension are still trying to find a regular site in each county to hold classes in.  If you are aware of any locations with kitchens where we could present classes please contact Dawn Barnes at 745-9307.

On to the Photos!

Preserving Floyd: Strawberries Part III - We Be Jammin'!

Making strawberry jam is a primer for making all kinds of jams and jellies.  The fruits may change but the technique remains pretty much the same.

If you read the last post on pectin you'll know that I prefer low/no sugar pectin that already contains the necessary calcium, and this post will be about strawberry jam and it's variations using Ball brand Low/No Sugar pectin.
