Monthly Pressure Gauge Testing - Free!
Second Friday of every month. Click HERE to sign up.
Pressure canners with only a dial gauge need to be tested annually to ensure the dial gauge is accurate. If your dial gauge is not accurate, it is not correctly reading pressure which may result in under or over processing and unsafe food.

Home Food Preservation Course (with no volunteer component)
Interested in learning more about preserving food at home? Want to expand your culinary skills? Do you live in a county without a UC Master Food Preserver Program?

- Food safety in the kitchen
- Freezing foods with maximum quality retention
- Dehydrating fruits, vegetables and meats and making powders
- Canning the pantry staples: tomatoes, applesauce, and fresh fruit
- Making jams, jellies and other fruit spreads by canning and freezing
- Using the fridge and a canner to pickle fruits, vegetables and eggs to add a burst of flavor to meals
- Canning your own condiments and savory sauces
- Stocking your pantry with main meal ingredients: meats, broth, soups and vegetables
