Happy Summer!

July at the Farmers Market

Berries and cherries are out in full force! I’ve made several batches of freezer jam so I can enjoy fresh fruit all year long.

You’ll also find plenty of summer produce: garlic scapes, summer squash, sugar snap peas, radishes, salad greens, and fresh herbs.

Think summer salads, bowls, and pastas with all of that produce. So many ways to make the most of what’s in season!

Smart Seasonal Tip for July

Make the Most of Market Veggies With This Simple Trick:​
​Freeze Summer Fruit!

Whether you picked up extra fruit or grew it yourself, freezing it is a great way to prevent food waste and enjoy peak flavor all year long.

From raspberries to cherries to peaches, freeze them in a single layer so they’re easy to grab for smoothies, mocktails, or desserts later.

Tip #1 : Use frozen fruit as ice cubes in your favorite cocktail or mocktail for a fun twist! I love frozen cherries in a whiskey sour!

Tip #2: No need to freeze blueberries in a single layer like cut fruit. Just wash, dry, and toss them straight into a bag. They won’t stick together!
