Spicy Summer Salsa

If you ever wanted to know how to make and even can your own salsa, mark your calendar for the 11th of July for a class offered by CSD at the Albiani Recreation Center.  Here is the link to sign up. The cost is only $20.

The instructor is Jack Edwards from the Elk Grove Lions Club. If you have enjoyed Salsa Fresca at any of the Lions Club events, it was probably part of the 3-5 gallons of salsa that he makes for their events. He started canning back in the late 1950’s, canning jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys, pickles, fruit, vegetables and meats. These photos show some of the meats, soups and pickles that he has canned over the past couple of years.

By the way, if you want to learn about making and canning jam, I have a class on September 11th at CSD’s Albiani Recreation Center. Look for it in the CSD Fall Activity Guide.
