Heart to Hearth Cookery

Participants March 6, 2010 Chocolate Workshop

Making Chocolate

 Today at the Johnson Ferry House in Washington Crossing State Park, New Jersey, the house was filled with the aroma of chocolate.  This was the location of  Heart to Hearth Cookery’s annual chocolate workshop. Seven patient participants were finally able to roast cacao beans and use metates to produce chocolate liquor that solidifies into “chocolate cakes”.  This workshop had to be postponed due to the February 6th blizzard!   It was a beautiful day in the park and everyone was ready to work and make as much chocolate as they could.  This class has set the record for the most production of chocolate cakes!  They seem very happy in the picture above as they will take these 100% cacao cakes home.  The next scheduled chocolate workshop will be February 5, 2011.  Registration is very limited so that all are able to have maximum hands on experience.  Visit my website at www.hearttohearthcookery.com for more information about the 2011 chocolate workshop; March 27th, 2010 hearth cooking class; and May 22nd, 2010 confectionery class.
