This is Brandi Silver, Family & Consumer Sciences Agent with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Burke County Center.

Gardens are going in and the bounty will be plentiful this summer! If you are  planning to preserve your harvest and your canner has a  pressure gauge, it should be tested for accuracy each year to ensure safe food processing. Extension recommends using a pressure canner for all low acid foods which include most vegetables. Jams, jellies and acidified foods can be preserved in a water bath canner. Be sure you are using a tested recipe when preserving your harvest.

You can get your pressure canner gauge tested for FREE at the Extension office. If you are looking for more information on safe food preservation, want to make an appointment or have questions about pressure or water bath canning, freezing, dehydrating, or fermenting, contact the Cooperative Extension office.
