Over the past couple months the SLO County Food Bank and GleanSLO have been collaborating with the UC Cooperative Extension to offer Canning Workshops throughout SLO County! We’ve begun our first round of workshops with a demonstration on how to make and preserve applesauce. What a great way to celebrate fall! GleanSLO has already donated a variety of gleaned apples, which were made into tasty applesauce for attendees to sample at the past two workshops in San Luis Obispo and Oceano. If you were unable to make it to the first two, don’t worry! There’s still one more opportunity to participate in the next Applesauce Canning Workshop in Nipomo on November 13th from 1-3 pm at the Nipomo Senior Center! Please contact Christine Nelson at the UCCE, (805) 781-5944 or cinelson@co.slo.ca.us, to register for the $10 class. Supplies and materials provided; vouchers are available for Food Bank recipients.
