Lisa Peterson, Nutrition and Wellness Educator from The University of Illinois, Extension Unit 18, appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show Thursday, to discuss canning. She explained that using a pressure canner is the best way to can your foods and the University of Illinois is helping people test the pressure on their cans to keep people and their food safe.
Peterson is teaching several classes in August, including one that teaches how to make jams and jellies, and how to can them.
Pressure Dial Gauge Clinics will be held at the University of Illinois Extension Unit 18 on June 14th to test people's can pressure and give information on anything that needs to be replaced.
