Join Perquimans' FCS agent in a hands-on workshop learning the ins and outs of Pickling. Pickling foods creates a tasty product using salt, spices, vinegar and/or sugar. The acidic environment in pickling is important for taste, texture, as well as safety of the product as this environment protects the product from the growth of a dangerous foodborne bacteria. Following tested recipes and not altering ingredient ratios will help to ensure a safe product. Join us in learning more about pickling and making a tested recipe during class!
