From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute.
Are you thinking about preserving food from your garden this summer? Along with rising food costs, many consumers also preserve to decrease food waste and boost food security. Start by visiting the National Center for Home Food Preservation hosted by the University of Georgia, College of Family and Consumer Sciences. Funded by the USDA, their resources are based on up-to-date research recommendations for safe, preserved food. Search online for the National Center for Home Food Preservation website. Follow their recommendations and use their tested and most importantly safe recipes. The website covers drying, freezing, canning, fermentation, jams, jellies, and more. Your family will be safe from foodborne illness.
Listen to Food Safety in a Minute this summer for additional podcasts on safe food
