Fruit Leather: Preserving & Snacks (March 19)
Learn how to make your own fruit leather in the next Edible Perennial class series with Jeff Hake of Funks Grove Heritage Fruits & Grains. Making fruit leather is a great way to preserve fruit at its peak ripeness while also making delicious, nutritious snacks. The lessons in this class can be adapted to a wide variety of small fruits, but the class will highlight local black currants sweetened with local maple sirup. Black currants are a bush fruit of emerging importance in the Midwest, and offer a juicy tartness you’ll love. Once you know how to make fruit leather, you’ll want a lot more in your life. Jeff Hake is an owner of Funks Grove Heritage Fruits & Grains in McLean, Illinois along with his wife and her brother. He loves farming, foraging, and cooking, and getting people as interested in those things as he is.
