University of Maine Cooperative Extension will hold a hands-on class to discuss and demonstrate how to safely preserve meat 6–9 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Extension office in Presque Isle, 57 Houlton Road.
Whether working with venison, beef, chicken or seafood, preserving meat is a way to add food to the pantry or freezer for use year-round. The class includes best practices for canning, dehydrating and freezing moose, venison, poultry, pork, fish and seafood. Lisa Fishman, a UMaine Extension nutrition education and food safety professional, will lead the class.
