If preserving food is in your plans for this summer, do it right with the proper equipment and current recipes.
Pressure canners are recommended when preserving all low acid foods such as vegetables, meat or fish. To ensure that the dial gauges on pressure canners are accurate, it is recommended that they be tested yearly.
The N.C. Cooperative Extension’s Brunswick County Center offers this service free of charge. Don’t take the chance of losing all your hard work or preserving unsafe products due to an inaccurate gauge.
Gauges will be tested on Thursday August 14 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
To have it tested, bring the canner lid with the gauge attached to the Extension Center at 25 Referendum Drive (Building N) in the County Government Complex, Bolivia. It only takes a few minutes for the peace of mind knowing your gauge is accurate. If this date is not good for you, drop your canner lid off at the Extension Center prior to the testing time and then pick it up after the testing is completed.
Canner gauges will also be tested by appointment. Contact Avery Ashley, Family and Consumer Science Extension Agent at the Brunswick County Center by calling 910 253 2610. N.C. Cooperative Extension can provide recommended and research-based procedures for canning, freezing, drying and making jams and jellies.
