19 Canning ,
Preserving, Selling
CULINARY
Students will become familiar with the key elements of preserving food in jars (also known as
canning food), choose what they will be preserving, and review the safety concerns that will come
into play in this process.
They will then make preserves in the cafe, taking photographs throughout the process. Finally,
they will decide how to market their preserves and practice displaying them.
They will create a “how-to” book on food preservation, an advertisement, and a unique label
for their preserves.
