Make Holiday Gifts in the Kitchen

Create cranberry gifts in the kitchen from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Cumberland County office, 75 Clearwater Drive, Falmouth.

Kate McCarty, UMaine Extension preservation community education assistant, will lead the second in a yearlong series of “From Scratch: Your Maine Kitchen” workshops that highlight and connect Maine foods, local cookbook authors and experts.

Workshop participants will make spiced cranberry-pear jam, cranberry rice pilaf mix, and cranberry granola with local cranberries and Maine grains. A jar of each product and recipes will be available to take home. In addition, Allison Carroll Duffy will sign her book, “Preserving with Pomona’s Pectin” and a holiday-theme door prize will be given away.

Cost of the workshop is $40; register online. For more information, or to request a disability accommodation, contact 207.781.6099, 800.287.1471 (in Maine), extension.rlreception@maine.edu.
