"Home Food Preservation: Tomatoes and Salsa" will be the theme of a class held on Tuesday, July 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Penn State Extension Berks County office, 1238 County Welfare Road, Leesport. It will explain the scientific reasoning behind today's recommended methods for making and processing tomatoes and salsa, while dispelling food preservation myths and discouraging unsafe practices of the past.
The class will cover the basics of water bath and atmospheric steam canning; canning recommendations, based on the latest USDA guidelines, on acidifying tomatoes; use of salt; use of research-tested recipes in canning salsa and other tomato products for safety; and fruit salsas.
