On the fourth day, we made jam and biscuits.
This was the last of the scheduled classes, but I have ideas for more and a plan for another set in August. In the future, I would not set three classes back to back. Those of us who did all three were a bit tired on this last day.
We started our day with a quick buttermilk biscuit recipe.
I figured we needed something to sample our jam on.
And then we washed, cut, and mashed our berries.
We double checked our set-up,
and started jammin'.
By far, I talked the most in this class, and my hand outs where the wordiest. This was also the only project where I stressed the need for an adult to be present.
Our local berries were tasty! Much taste testing was done, and each student left with two half pints of strawberry and two of raspberry.
I really enjoyed creating and teaching these classes.
As full energy as the lessons were, (and each one was three hours of go-go-go) I wasn't tired at the end of each day.
And best of all, I was able to spend time with Sweetheart G and her friends.
