To kick off our Home Steading 101 classes, join Brian Knowles as he shows you how to make some of his favorite burger condiments. Not only can you adapt them to your taste (less sugar, more spice etc.), but they don’t have all of those extra ingredients you can’t pronounce. Plus they are wallet friendly.
We’ll start off the evening by quick pickling cucumbers, also known as Quickles and then tossing red onions in hot pickling brine. Brian likes to add crushed chili pepper flakes to the cucumbers and oregano to his Pickled Red Onions.
Moving along, we’ll then cook our Ketchup or is it catsup? Which ever way you spell it, according to DoorDash it is the most popular burger condiment. Like it spicier? Add some hot sauce. Want it less sweet? Don’t add as much sweetener.
Mayonnaise is the second most popular burger condiment. You won’t believe how easy it is to make from scratch. Just six ingredients and all you can pronounce all in one container. You’ll never buy it in a store again!
Brian is saving his favorite burger condiment for last. Bacon Jam! Brian has been making this recipe for years ever since he tested it for his friends cookbook back in 2013. Are you a chunky or a smooth person? Either way its delicious. Leave it chunky for some texture or take an immersion blender to it for a smooth and spreadable jam.
You might be wondering what is the third most popular condiment? That would be Yellow Mustard. Although we won’t have time to make this classic condiment in class (it takes well over an hour), some will be provided as will the recipe so you can make it at home. It’s also the perfect accompaniment for Mary Storeys pretzels.
Of course after making all these condiments you’ll want to try them ASAP so you’ll be able to make your own burger patty on a home made potato roll that Brian made earlier in the day.
As this is a Chef Night/Date Night, you are welcome to BYOB (please drink responsibly!)
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
