HOPE- The Hempstead County 4H hosted a Youth Jam Workshop on Tuesday, July 9 at the Fair Park Community Center instructed by Extension Agent Terrie James. They learned how preserve jams by the water bath canning method and by freezing. The students got to help throughout the process by mashing berries, preparing the cans, and checking berries for stems. They created a blueberry jam, a mixed berry jam, and a berry blitz freezer jam.
