Presented in partnership with Fivesparks
Sunday November 8th from 3pm-4:30pm
Fivesparks and the Harvard General Store invite you to an outdoor, live, hard cider tasting event. We will taste six different local ciders, including several made by Chef Paul himself. Learn about cider making and enjoy Chef Paul’s stories. Reservations are by tables of either 2, 4, or 6 people per group.
Each participant in your group will receive a “flight board” with 6 ciders, and also accompanying snacks. Fill your table with friends and/or family! The General will have additional snacks available for purchase, and will also keep the ‘bar’ open during the event. Multiple Carlson’s cider varieties will be on tap and discounted for attendees.
Limited seating. ALL GUESTS MUST BE OVER 21.

Ingredients
Pastry
1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbs. cold water
1 Tbs. French peppercorn mustard
Filling
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 lb. mushrooms, thickly sliced
¾ cup mozzarella cheese
2 Tbs. chopped fresh tarragon
2 Tbs. snipped chives
To make pastry, sift flour into a bowl and add butter. Cut butter into small pieces with a knife and then rub in with fingers until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add water and fork together to make a firm dough. Roll out and use to line a 9” flan tin. Chill.
Heat oil and cook onion and garlic until soft, then add mushrooms and cook quickly for 5 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Spread mustard over base of dough. Mix together cheese and herbs then spoon half into the pastry case. Arrange mushrooms on top and sprinkle over remaining cheese. Use salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until cheese has turned golden brown.\
