Learn About Water Bath Canning with UF/IFAS Extension

UF/IFAS Extension Citrus County is hosting their first monthly Canning Open House at the Citrus County Canning Center, located at 3405 W Southern Street in Lecanto.

Two sessions will be held on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, from 10:00am to noon or 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
Participants will need to bring their own canning jars, produce, and approved recipe ingredients.
Extension staff will be on-site to answer questions and make sure all equipment is ready for use. The
cost for a two-hour space is $15.00 per person. Pre-registration is required, as space is limited.

What about those who want to learn how to safely preserve your food using the water bath canning
method, but do not feel ready for an open house? UF/IFAS Extension staff are also offering a hands-on
workshop teaching the basics of water bath canning.

• Participants will make and take home a freshly canned jar of their own.
• The class will be held on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 10:00am at the Citrus County Canning Center.
• The cost for the workshop is $15.00 per person, and pre-registration is required as the class is limited to 12 participants.
