MURRAY CANNERY DECEMBER 2009 FAMILY CANNING SCHEDULE

Dear Family Canners,
After a busy year of providing extra food for the Bishops’ Storehouses, we are happy to start family canning again. SPECIAL NOTICE: New federal regulations require all meat products to be kept at the cannery for ten days before they are released. We already have cream of chicken soup that was produced in October and will have chili that will be produced on November 21st with family canning labels that can be picked up the day you work. Those signing up to do chicken chunks will need to come back sometime after December 20th to pick-up their chicken chunks. Pick up chicken chunks by Jan. 7th. (Over time we should be able to build a small inventory of meat products so all products can be picked up the same day you work.)
