About the event

Dill Pickle Lemonade
Join us for a dill-lightful demonstration and learn how to make dill pickle lemonade! The salty-sweet drink is the perfect summer refreshment, and it has a bit of a cult following among Pie Bird Pie fans. Pie Bird used to serve this lemonade at farmers market, and it remains a hit at their summer pie hikes and special events. The real secret to this lemonade is how you make it though. Zero juicing, a miracle! Our favorite way to make it is in a stand mixer, and in this demo, we'll teach you how, step by step. This recipe features lots of great summer produce like cucumbers and dill. And a jar of pickles, of course! Chef Jacob will even walk us through ways to use the leftover cucumbers and pickles at the end of our lemonade-making.

Presented by Choose Iowa featuring Baker Kristen Daily of Pie Bird Pies and Chef Jacob Schroeder of Crafted Food Services. Featuring Iowa grown ingredients provided by Fort Dodge Farmers Market

During the Iowa State Fair, you can join Choose Iowa in The Kitchen at 1 p.m. every day for a presentation featuring Iowa producers and chefs sharing on a variety of topics.
