Let’s celebrate peach season! Join Miriam Rubin in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen for a mini peach festival and Ice Cream Social, all in one delicious demonstration class. First, we’ll learn how to make an easy peach ice cream. While it’s churning, Miriam will put together a fantastic and super-simple Peach and Blueberry Cobbler. This is a recipe you’ll make again and again with other fruits, in other seasons. When everything is done the cobbler will be topped with a scoop of our Homemade Peach Ice Cream for an afternoon treat.
This demonstration class is limited to ten people.
