Fresh flavors and food preservation skills were on the menu at the McCormick County Extension Relish Workshop! 🌽🥄

Participants joined Clemson food safety agent Stacy Kirby and Master Food Preserver Toni Moore to learn how to safely prepare and can delicious corn relish. From chopping fresh ingredients to sealing jars for the pantry, everyone gained hands-on experience and confidence in home food preservation.

Thank you to The Education Center at John de la Howe for hosting us and everyone who attended and made this workshop such a fun and successful day. We love helping our community preserve local foods safely and enjoy them year-round! 🫙💛
