Preserve that feeling of summer by learning how to water bath can whole peaches with Amy Parlette from the Suburban Homestead!

Be introduced to and explore fruit preserving and water bath canning at Lurvey Home & Garden with a hands-on canning class that will help you turn your garden’s bounty into pantry gold!

Led by Certified Master Food Preserver Amy Parlette, this class focuses on preserving whole, seasonal fruit using water bath canning.
