Holiday Harvest:
A Family Baking &
Craft Class
Join us December 13th!
In this fun, hands-on, expert-led class, we'll start by making homemade applesauce (great for latkes!), then prepare a fruit crumble to bake and enjoy. We'll also make thumbprint cookies featuring Community Fruit Rescue's homemade pear butter. In between, participants can get creative with holiday crafts like decorating wooden apples and making popcorn and cranberry garlands.
Inspired by holiday traditions around Christmas and Hanukkah, this hands-on workshop is a fun opportunity to spend time together, learn new ways to use local fruit, and take home some homemade treats and seasonal creations!
Leading this class: Chef Trae Durica
