Canning Home Basics: Applesauce Edition
Join us November 15th!
In this beginner-friendly class, led by CFR Board President and long-time canner Blair Norman, you’ll learn the basics of canning and preserving using one of the simplest (and tastiest) recipes—homemade applesauce! Together we’ll transform freshly rescued Community Fruit Rescue apples into sauce and safely preserve them in jars using the hot water bath method. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips and tricks to make the process easy and fun. By the end, you’ll head home with your very own jar of applesauce and the know-how to start preserving other fruits, too. No experience needed—just come ready to peel, stir, taste, and enjoy the magic of canning.

The essentials of canning equipment (and what you can skip!)
How to prep, cook, and season applesauce for preserving
Safe methods for filling and sealing jars
Food safety tips to keep your preserves fresh and delicious
How to expand your skills to other fruits and recipes
