Canning with Confidence | Montgomery County

Curious about home canning but not sure where to begin? Join Extension for a beginner-friendly class that takes the guesswork out of preserving food at home. Learn the basics of pressure canning, water bath canning, and steam canning, including which method works best for different foods. We’ll cover essential equipment, safe practices, and walk step-by-step through the process so you can feel confident getting started. Do you need a pressure canner gauge tested? Bring it with you, and we’ll test it at no cost. Plus, enjoy a tasting of unique homemade salsa and jam along the way and receive canning recipes. This class is offered at no cost. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact
