In four weekly hands-on sessions, you’ll learn safe, research-based techniques for freezing foods, from fresh produce to leftovers. Led by trained MU Extension educators, Freeze It! combines easy-to-follow lessons with interactive activities so you can use what you learn right away.

You will learn:

  • How to maintain the best quality in your frozen foods
  • Strategies to plan meals and store ingredients
  • How to use your freezer to make cooking easier, whether you’re feeding one person or a family

Classes are fun, practical and supportive, and we encourage you to bring a friend or family member to share the fun.
