Home food preservation is a practical life skill that's easy to learn, and especially fun to do with a group! Join Kayte Young, host of WFIU's Earth Eats, to make blueberry jam. Age 12 and up.
We'll learn all about how to safely can fresh produce at home, then we'll demonstrate by making our own blueberry jam and canning it using the hot water bath method. Each participant will take home a shelf-stable jar of jam, plus recipes for other products to preserve at home.
This program is in partnership with Earth Eats.
The Southwest Branch, recently opened in 2023 and located next to Batchelor Middle School, has reservable meeting rooms, spaces for children and teens, a teaching kitchen, and an amphitheater.
