Members $54, Non-members $60
Instructor: Betsy Williams, The Proper Season
Now, while gardens and farms stands are brimming with fresh herbs, is the time to prepare for winter cooking and holiday gift giving. Imagine lining your cupboard shelves with jewel-toned bottles of herb vinegars, golden brown herb mustards and sparkling jars of herbed jellies. Picture containers of herbed butters, bags of rosemary walnuts and jars of herb pestos filling a corner of your freezer. Not enough time? Too much work? Not true!! These delicious enhancements to daily meals are quickly and easily made. Learn how to dry or freeze herbs and how to make mustards, butters, vinegars, jellies, flavored nuts and pestos with fresh herbs. Students will sample each recipe demonstrated and then make an herb vinegar, herb mustard and herb butter to take home. Fee includes the cost of food, supplies and a copy of Betsy’s book “Mrs. Thrift’s Cupboard”, a collection of tried and true herbal recipes for the time-challenged cook.
