Canning College
​
Does of the fear of botulism and spoiled food make you hesitate about canning your food at home? University of Tennessee Extension is your source of safe, up-to-date canning information.

Many county Extension offices offer a program called, “Canning College,” a class or series of classes that include discussions, demonstrations, and opportunities for hands-on practice. Whether you are new to home canning or just want to brush up on your skills, Canning College provides personal instruction on a variety of processes that include jams and jellies and pickling using a water-bath canner as well as processes for low-acid foods that involve using a pressure canner.

The products you will see demonstrated and foods you will can vary by county and season. A reasonable fee is charged to cover the expense of jars, food, and University of Tennessee Extension publications. This also varies by county and the types of foods you can.

To learn more about Canning College in your county, contact your local Family and Consumer Sciences agent.​
