January Meeting
Thursday, January 9th at the BP Energy Building. The festivities begin at 6:30 pm with some refreshments and the opportunity to socialize with your fellow fruit growers. Any food or drink that you might wish to contribute to our hospitality table would be much appreciated.
At 7:00 pm we will have a short board meeting followed this month’s program.
Ilona Farr will be our presenter on “Preserving Techniques and Recipes for Our Harvest.” Her presentation will be loaded with tips and techniques for preserving the fruit you grow. She will discuss the pros and cons of processing your harvest, including resources and equipment.
More importantly, she wants your involvement in a recipe
exchange. If you have a favorite recipe
for using your fruit, bring a typed copy that we can post on the web-page or
that people can take a photo of. Of
course, bringing a recipe is good. But if you can also bring a sample of the
final product for people to taste, now that would be fantastic!
