REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Try a New Way to PrepCanning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?
Andrea Hernandez 10/23/2018 1:12 PMI would like to preserve bread for a long time, like a year because I can give it to people in need and they'll have it for a long time. Bread can make you full and make you gain some weight if needed. -
