2011 Master Food Preservers Class
More and more Wisconsin residents are seeking fresh, locally produced foods with the goals of eating a healthier diet and supporting the local economy. With the increased emphasis on buying local, the University of Wisconsin–Extension offered Master Food Preserver training. This 3-day program was geared to volunteers who work with University of Wisconsin Extension to support programming in food safety and food preservation. Master Food Preserver volunteers are required to provide 20 hours of volunteer service annually to UW-Extension in their county, providing training to others and helping to respond to questions. The 3-day workshop covered the following topics (classroom instruction and hands-on exercises): general food safety, the science of food preservation, canning high-acid and low-acid foods, freezing foods, food dehydration, making pickles, and canning salsa, pie filling, and jellied fruit products.
