Canning Kitchen Recipes
 Home processing fresh garden produce or putting up a special favorite sauce or relish is an enjoyable
and highly satisfying experience; not to mention the health benefits offered for those with special
diet needs. Those who are sensitive or allergic to commercial chemical preservatives or added salts can
benefit greatly by home processing foods.
Home canning at the Citrus County Community Canning Kitchen is an opportunity
to provide your family with year round peak quality food that
is cost effective to preserve and environmentally safe to process.
Also, as any canning enthusiast will attest to, canning is an enjoyable, satisfying,
and stress relieving skill.
