The Sept. 21 webinar, 1-2:30 p.m., will cover charcuterie accompaniments. The session Sept. 23, 7-8:30 p.m., will focus on an introduction to drying. Reduced sodium and reduced sugar foods will be the topic Sept. 30, 1-2:30 p.m.
Each of these webinars will explain the scientific reasoning behind today’s recommended methods for home food preservation while dispelling food preservation myths and unsafe practices of the past.
