The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will offer free classes on how to make tasty vinegars from native plants on August 10 at Clinton and August 11 at Warsaw. Beyond wild edibles such as berries and fruits, native plants can also provide the base or add flavors for making homemade vinegars.
Instructors will talk about plants that can be used for vinegars and the various harvest seasons for them. They will cover the vinegar making steps and equipment needed. The classes are for all ages. Registration is required. Class locations, times and registration links include:
