Members who have complete the Beginning and Expanding levels of the 4-H Food Preservation project are ready for the Advanced Level. There are numerous activities for you to explore.
The Beginning Level of food preservation is for members of any age who are just starting the project. You might spend up to 3 years in this level as you learn the basic procedures and try the different methods.
An important part of food preparation is recipe selection. A recipe tells which ingredients to use and how to put them together. Knowing how to interpret the symbols and terms and how to use the recipe will help create a successful product.
