AUGUSTA — The University of Maine Cooperative Extension publishes information to help find, grow, use and store in-season fruits and vegetables in Maine.
July favorites include “Let’s Preserve: Snap Beans,” “Let’s Preserve: Pickles,” “Vegetables and Fruits for Health: Cucumbers” and “Vegetables and Fruits for Health: Green Beans and Wax Beans.” Consumers can order or download these and other bulletins at extension.umaine.edu.
UMaine Extension educator Kathy Savoie recommends getting up-to-date information on the best methods, canners, jars and seals to ensure a safe result before preserving food.
More information, including upcoming food preservation workshops and how-to videos, is online at extension.umaine.edu/food-health.
