Extend the life of your favorite fresh summer produce by incorporating them into spreads, dips and butters. For years I have made apple butter in the fall, but it never occurs to me to use other fruits and vegetables that are ripening to make spreads and butters to enjoy. I have enjoyed homemade garlic butter and even made a strawberry butter. The fresh fruits and vegetables help to brighten many recipes from savory to sweet.

This week I was gifted some fresh local raspberries from our Horticulture Specialist and it prompted me to do a little raspberry research. Raspberries will give you a sweet, tangy burst of summer flavor. Raspberries are also packed with antioxidants, fiber and multiple essential vitamins.

In the words of the famous Tariq, better known in 2022 as the “Corn Kid”, when it is time for fresh corn to hit local markets, it is a “corntastic” day. Corn just makes you happy!!
