Sept 3rd - Fall Food Preservation with Youth!
I love the fall! The colors start changing and the leaves begin to cover the yard. Kids go back to school, family gather for holidays, and a light, crisp chill hits the air reminding me to enjoy the season before winter comes to erase the year away. But the biggest reason I love fall is for all the bountiful fruits and veggies that abound! Fresh produce is one of things I enjoy about living in rural Colorado. You don't have to go very far to find a veggie stand with zucchini, squash, vine ripened tomatoes, and lettuce. Or just take a short drive east and you'll find a sign for "You Pick..." apples, peaches, pears, apricots, berries, etc.... But the thing about fresh is - fresh isn't fresh forever! Sad Day... Thankfully my folks were both avid food preservationists and instilled in me the knowledge to preserve fresh food for my own family. Thus was born my passion for canning! A passion I happily can pass on to the youth I work with! Life Skills Girls Learn to
