Learn what mincemeat is and how to prepare it at Preparing Traditional Mincemeat on Tuesday, December 1 from 6-8 p.m. in the Mansion Carriage House.
Led by instructor Charlie Rainbow Wolf, students will be guided through the different steps of making their own (vegetarian) mincemeat from a hand-me-down recipe, as they learn about the history and customs of the treat. Students will take a jar of mincemeat home with them to bake into their own pies, and of course the recipe to create their own mincemeat traditions in the coming years!
$80/person. Register here. Registration closes November 24 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

About the instructor:
Charlie Rainbow Wolf describes herself as an “old hippie” who has studied the “weird ways of the world for nearly 50 years.” She is happiest with her hands in the mud, either making pottery in an ‘artbox’ or tending things in her ‘yarden’ (yard + garden).
Astrology, tarot and herbs are Charlie’s greatest interests, but she has also dabbled in metaphysical topics in the last five decades — because life always has something new to offer.
She is a contributing author for Llewellyn Worldwide, is a ghostwriter for renowned psychic celebrities, and makes a wicked batch of fudge! Charlie lives in central Illinois with her very patient husband and special needs Great Danes.
