Extension presenting food preparation lessons

Wahkiakum County's WSU Cooperative Extension is presenting a program about food preservation.

"Preserve the Taste of Summer" is a series of eight online lessons for the in-home consumer who wants to learn about food safety and preservation. Topics range from canning basics to advanced canning and from pickled and fermented foods to drying and freezing foods.

Lessons start September 10 and finish September 17. Consumers may view the lessons at the Wahkiakum Community Network Community Center in the Cathlamet library building. Sessions run from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and are free.
