Day 8 was Sunday and it would be a full day of new adventures.
This was the day we have been waiting for, everything we had
prepared back in the US for.
 |
| Canning supplies sent from the US. |
 |
| The group discussing what the next step will be. |
The first project we showed the farmers was making glycerin soap.
As this can be done with a stove of any kind.
First we cut the glycerin and then melt it. We then
mix it with tea which we made with herbs. Finally, we
pour it into molds.

The steps to canning corn was first take the corn off the cob. Then cook in boiling water and get it into jars. Then put it into a pressure canner for steam processing.
Remove from canner and you got preserved corn.
