Join VMF's Education Coordinator, Janice Smith, for a fun workshop making acorn pancakes and waffles!Late fall is when oak trees drop their acorns in abundance. Acorns were the source of food throughout different cultures in the Americas, Europe, and East Asia. In Serbia and in other countries in Europe, for example, bread was made from acorns. In Korea and Japan, acorns were used to make noodles. Most Native Americans also used acorns for food, including our local Kumeyaay who preferred black oak acorns to make porridge called Shawee.
In this workshop we will start with a short walk to observe different oak trees and their acorns and learn about the process of harvesting them, including acorn selection, drying, leeching, and grinding techniques. We will turn our acorn flour into delicious pancakes and waffles and pair them with an assortment of infused wild syrups that may include elderberry, maple, wild rosehip, and conifer. Whether you’re a forager, foodie, or simply curious about wild foods, this workshop is a perfect way to experience the flavors of the forest!
