This free online class, taught by the UC Master Food Preservers Online Delivery Program, focuses on food safety and practical techniques for preparing and storing purees and simple snacks at home.

Caregivers will learn how freezing and dehydrating can be used to store homemade baby and toddler foods, helping with advance meal planning while maintaining safety and quality. We’ll also discuss general considerations around ingredients, textures, and storage so caregivers can feel confident about what they’re preparing and serving.

Examples will include vegetable purees, applesauce, and yogurt melts.
