Food Preservation

UGA Extension programs and services in home food preservation are varied and teach science-based methods for long-term storing of food at home.  Our goal is to inform people how to preserve high quality foods with tested, safe methods. We offer classes in some locations around the state, as well as free and for-sale publications.  

Purchase the So Easy to Preserve book through the county office or order online here. 

Chapters include:  Preserving Food, Canning, Pickled Products, Sweet Spreads and Syrups, Freezing, and Drying. You can also find recipes and tips in addition to a list of most frequently asked questions, a table of problems, causes and ways to prevent the problem from happening again.
