Summer Pies with Jim Dodge

August 17, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 1:30 pm

Summer is the perfect time to perfect pies, when we have an abundance of fresh local fruit. Learn pie from the master Jim Dodge in this hands-on class. Jim will walk you through his foolproof techniques  of mixing, rolling, fluting and baking perfect pie crusts using traditional and new techniques, as well as adjusting sugar for the fruit fillings. Once you know the right technique you will be able to make great pies with tender crust at home. In class we will make:

Plum & Almond Frangipane

Flaky Crust Blueberry Pie

Lattice Crust Peach & Raspberry

Strawberry Cream Pie
