Learn how to save, store, and preserve seasonal fruits and vegetables to enjoy the best flavors and highest nutrition for as long as possible. This class introduces the many different methods of food preservation.

Freezing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to preserve the fresh taste and nutrients of fruits and vegetables—when done correctly. It’s a safer and more convenient alternative to canning and can help you save money by extending the life of homegrown produce, farmers' market finds, and grocery store deals. In this class, you will learn essential freezing techniques, including which foods require blanching, how to prevent freezer burn, the best storage containers to use, ideal freezer conditions, and additional tips for preserving produce year-round.

Herbs pack a lot of flavors that help improve the taste of many foods. Get to know some of the herbs commonly used in cooking and learn how you can use them year-round.

Beginning in the 1960's, food in the U.S. deep south was heavily influenced by early settlers from France, Germany, and Spain.
