Ferment This! Twofer! Apple/Pear Chutney, and Fermented Potatoes

$26

with Emma Holder

Calendar Oct 16, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 1 week
I wondered about fermenting potatoes, but they are delicious! Fermented, tossed with olive oil and salt, and baked, they have almost a vinegary-french-fry flavor! Since this is a very simple vegetable ferment, we’ll have time to add a more complicated one; Fermented apple and pear chutney with aromatics and spices. This tangy chutney makes a great gift or to have in the fridge to add zing to a familiar meal. (I love it on hearty bread with a sharp cheese toasted over the top). This hybrid class will include the microbiology and the ferment creation. Instructor Emma Holder, Masters in Micro/Immuno, McGill '93. Zoom link, in-person address, materials list shared upon registration.
