The canning of fruits and vegetables will be taught from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church, located at Third and Church streets in Kelseyville. Call 707-277-9227 to register.

Pears and tomatoes will be featured, as that is the most abundant crop in Lake County at this time of year, and offer a well-rounded learning experience.

The Hunger Task Force feels that canning is one of the best ways to prepare healthy, nutritious food for your family.

All participants should come dressed for a hands-on experience in each step of the process.

Upon completion of the lessons, each participating household will be given a water bath canner, a book, a jar lifter and a case of canning jars to take home.

Participants must be preregistered, and space is limited to 12 per session.

The cost is $20, half of which will be refunded upon attendance.

Please call as soon as possible to register.
