County Extension Office Offering Safe Canning Tips, Canning Equipment For Checkout

8/18/2020

by Julia Wilson, Edmonson County Extension Agent:
Canning season is in full swing. Safety is of utmost importance for those of us preserving food because improperly home canned food can lead to food-borne illness. 

Bacteria, yeasts, and molds can grow quickly on fresh fruits and vegetables.  Oxygen and enzymes that can cause food to spoil are found all over and inside produce. Safe home canning methods help prevent the growth of these harmful bacteria, yeast and molds; remove excess oxygen from the food; destroy spoilage enzymes; and allow for year-round enjoyment of the foods from your garden.   

Despite what you may find on the Internet or social media, there are only two acceptable methods for home canning safe, quality products--the boiling water canner method and the pressure canner method.  The type of food you are preserving will dictate which method to use. Boiling water canners can be used on foods that are naturally high in acid, like most fruits.  Pressure canners must be used for all fresh vegetables, meat and poultry.  Both methods, when used properly, can prevent botulism, a deadly form of food poisoning associated with canned food.
 
You can safely process foods that are naturally high in acid or foods that have been acidified with lemon juice or vinegar (like pickles, salsa and relishes) in a boiling water bath canner.  The acid prevents the growth of harmful bacteria in these foods.  However, vegetables, meats and poultry do not contain enough acid to prevent bacterial growth. For these foods temperatures between 240 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit are necessary to prevent the growth of bacteria.  Temperatures this high can only be reached using a pressure canner.  Therefore, you must process all vegetables and other low acid foods in a pressure canner.  
  
Be sure to use up-to-date equipment that’s in proper working condition. It’s never a good idea to purchase a pressure canner at a yard sale or flea market as replacement parts and manufacturer’s instructions may not be available. Pressure canners made after 1997 are designed with more safety features and weigh much less than older canners. You should test the gauge on dial-gauge pressure canners each year. Your local extension office can do this for you. It is also important to use only Mason-type canning jars and self-sealing, two-piece lids. Never reuse jars that once contained mayonnaise or other food products as they will crack and break during processing.  

​ The Edmonson County Extension Office has pressure canners, boiling water canners, and Jam & Jelly makers available for check out. Click here for all the info. 

Always use research-based recipes to preserve foods. These recipes are available in UK Cooperative Extension Service home canning publications, the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving, or the National Center for Home Food Preservation’s website https://nchfp.uga.edu/. Follow each recipe exactly as written.  Do not make additions or changes unless options are provided in the recipe. Not following the recipe precisely or using a recipe that is not research-based, may result in sickness. 

For more information on safe food canning and research-based recipes, contact the Edmonson County Cooperative Extension Service.

Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of economic or social status and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expressions, pregnancy, marital status, genetic information, age, veteran status, or physical or mental disability.

Donations Needed More Than Ever For Edmonson County's Student Backpack Food Program

8/14/2020

0 Comments

 
Easy Online Donations Available
Picture
As the beginning of the new school year approaches among uncertain times, it's also time for the local "Adopt-A-Backpacker Program" to begin. 

Local coordinator Michelle McCoy said the program will once again be partnering with Feeding America and the Family Resource Center/Youth Service Center, in order to help improve the lives of many children in Edmonson County. Now more ever, donations are necessary to ensure Edmonson County students can take home a backpack full of food and other needed items for the weekend.

"For each $120 donation, you can adopt one child to receive a bag food every Friday for the entire school year," she said." There will be greater need this year, due to COVID, and the numbers increased quite a bit at the end of the last school year.  The number of students in need went from about 135 to about 156 during the last couple of months of school. 

Download the form below and either print, fill out, and mail in, or you can simply make a donation online by clicking here. 
 
McCoy also noted that backpacks were delivered this past spring, even though school was out. Volunteers from Feeding America and local school Family Resource personnel helped to make it happen.

Cee Bee Food Store Gets New Look With Storefront Remodel

8/12/2020

Completed new look at Cee Bee Food Store on Main St.
Darren Doyle, story:
The Cee Bee Food Store in Brownsville completed a remodeling effort this week after a lengthy process resulting from a car crash nearly two years ago. 

Owners Jeff and Cindy Rich said the new look includes new signage, stone columns, and a new face at the top of the building, which had basically remained unchanged since the store was built in 1985.


Picture
Workers put the finishing touches on the new storefront.
Cindy Rich said although the car crash occurred in November of 2018, delays with insurance prolonged the process and the full scale work didn't begin until May of this year. The store was fully operational, but with temporary repairs.

"After repairing the damage we realized how great the need was to update the rest of the building," she said. The building is more than 30 years old. Even though it is structurally it is sound, we felt like it lacked curb appeal."

Scene of the car crash from November, 2018.
A driver crashed her car into the storefront on November 8, 2018. Miraculously, there were no injuries, but the front of the store was demolished. Emergency workers guessed that the driver had accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The store immediately cleaned up the mess, made a temporary fix, and business continued as usual; now, the remodel is complete with a whole new look.
Picture
A "before" photo of the storefront.
One noticeable difference is that the Cee Bee "bee" is no longer part of the look. 

"We wanted to incorporate the bee in there somewhere, but we just couldn't make it work," Rich said. 

​"We love our town, we love our customers, and we hope the work we've done is something that shows pride in our community."
