Hayesville High Learns About Canning

(Updated: May 16, 2023, 11:42 a.m.)

Kim Terrell, Family and Consumer Science Agent, recently visited the Foods I & II classes at Hayesville High School to discuss the history of food preservation. Students were able to have a hands-on experience by making grape jelly in a water bath canner and strawberry freezer jam from fresh strawberries. According to Ms. Reinehardt, the students were very proud of their jam and jelly. Kim is planning a variety of food preservation classes to be held later this summer. If you are interested or would like more information about food preservation please contact Kim at (828) 389-6305.
