| Impact Report | OYD Youth Canning Crownpoint Not only are adults interested in home canning youth are also learning to preserve food. This year OYD youth planted a garden and took care of it with agents help. Nine youth and four adult leaders made apple butter and processed them in a boiling water canner. Youth learned to prepare canning jars and sterilize them before filling with apple-butter; they learned about the processing time for altitudes above 6,000 ft. and processed 15 jars of apple butter. Each participant took a sample home to share with family members. Youth gained knowledge about food preservation, food safety, and the difference between cold and hot packs. |
