Terrie James (right), U of A County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences, and Hope Civitan Club President Eva Morehead made strawberry freezer jam during the most recent Civitan Club meeting.  Mrs. James, staff chair of the County Extension Office, presented an overview of the duties of the office, including educational matters related to nutrition, health and physical fitness, food safety, and food preservation — canning, freezing, drying and fermentation.  She illustrated her program by actually making freezer jam and placing it in small food-safe, freezer-safe containers for each Civitan present to take home some of the delicious strawberry treat, which was ready to eat, refrigerate, or freeze for longer keeping.
