Apples are ripening in the orchard as we prepare for the harvest season.  The season of fall brings about a feeling of comfort and apples are part of the flavor.  Fill your pantry with juice and cider, frozen slices of apples, homemade apple pie filling, applesauce, apple butter, and apple jelly.  Dehydrate apples into fruit leather and apple chips.  Preserve at home and enjoy this delicious food in the cold winter months ahead.

Learn what variety of apples preserve well, the scientific preservation methods and supplies, apple quality, and recipe ideas during the online webinar.  Set aside an hour to Fill your Pantry with apples.  Receive handouts and recipes for this seasonal fruit.
