5

ways to enjoy and preserve your harvest

Did you pick your fill of fruits and vegetables from local growers, get carried away at the farmers’ market or harvest plenty of veggies from your garden? Here are five ways to reduce waste and enjoy your bounty all year long.

PIES. Use apples, plums, blackberries, pears and pumpkins to make delectable pies. Store them in the freezer for several weeks.

JAMS. Nearly any fruit can be made into jam. In addition to being spread on toast, you can use your jams to brighten up baked goods like cakes, cookies and buns.

PICKLES. Pickle beets, radishes, peppers, cucumbers and other tasty vegetables to create a tangy side dish.

DRIED FRUITS AND VE-

GETABLES. Dried strawberries, apples, tomatoes, carrots and kale have a long shelf life. They can be used in various recipes, including sangrias, salad dressings and sauces.

SOUPS AND

BROTHS. Vegetables like squash, onions, leeks and cauliflower are the perfect addition to soups and broths. Make a big batch and defrost it whenever you want.

Get creative when whipping up a healthy and tasty meal.
