FOOD PRESERVATION IN BARLOW CREEK

The final workshops in Barlow Creek under Phase 1 of the Empowering Family Health Project were held on Saturday, Feb. 4th at the Barlow Creek Fire Department.

Both Melinda Fellows of Bowron Lake and Suzie Myles of Bouchie Lake shared their knowledge and passion about food preservation, the importance of it for food security and its health and economic benefits.  Ideas such as using the pressure canner, how to oven can, using lower sugar pectin, and how to vacuum seal were all discussed.  A great workshop ladies!
