Plan
ahead! This is the time of year that I most appreciate my extra efforts
in July and August. It always seems like it is "too hot" in the summer
to be in the kitchen canning. This morning, though, I really enjoyed my
toast with my own blackberry jelly. Last summer I bought a flat of
blackberries from my local farm-stand. I made blackberry jam and jelly
using the pectin recipes. I also canned blackberries, syrup and pie
filling from the OSU Extension recipes on our website. Use Clear Jel for
the pie filling (available at most OSU Extension offices). Set aside a
day this summer to can your favorite berry products to share and enjoy
all year round.

Capital Press editorial: OSU Extension Centennial
The service became an “extension” of the educational institutions,
delivering the product of their research directly to the field through
an army of agents and experts. Over the years the service’s mission
expanded to include programs for homemakers, youth and rural
development.
The service played an invaluable role in making science-based agricultural practices the standard on most farms across the country, increasing productivity and profitability. It has made American agriculture the envy of the world.
