dc conservationFood related programs have proven to be one of the most popular topics covered by the Dallas County Conservation Board.

Museum Curator Pete Malmberg says such events are some of the best attended and he’s hoping that trend will continue next weekend at their Food Preservation 101 workshop.

“This is a fun overview for adults and older school aged children on the old-time, and still practical, arts of drying, freezing, pickling, hot water canning and pressure canning fruits and vegetables.  (Attendees will) find out about the equipment, time and money each method requires and learn how to avoid common food preservation mistakes.”

Though no actual food preparation or preservation will be done in class, Iowa State University Extension Nutrition and Health program specialist Mary Krisco will help beginners decide which type of food preservation is best for them.

The program takes place Sunday, May 31st at 1:30pm at the Forest Park Museum.

Preregistration is required for the free program.  To sign up, call 465-3577.
