\"Img_2442\"<\/a>This week in my Exploring Local Foods Course I welcomed three guests:
Kristen Jordan of Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse<\/a>, and Ann Aylard and Cathy Rasmussen of the BC Fruit Testers Association<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We tasted 4 excellent ciders and a little treat that I whipped up from a recipe that Ann and Cathy passed along for Danish Apple Bars, a little bit different than your basic apple dessert recipe.  Hope you enjoy it as well:<\/p>\n
