Fresh Sheet: August 19, 2015

It's the Perfect Time to Pickle!
Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:00-7:30

Part of eating seasonally is preserving the best of the harvest for those cold, dark days in the middle of winter! There's nothing like biting into a preserved cucumber or sweet apricot jam when the snow flies. Our market is full of delicious produce to preserve, from pickling cucumbers, to tomatoes, peaches and berries. Some items are best pickled and fermented, like cucumber and carrots, while other items are best to freeze, like romanesco cauliflower and broccoli. This week, ask your farmers what their favourite items are to preserve and for some tips on how to do it. You'll thank them for the taste of summer in the dark days of January!

Join us here on the "Market Fresh Sheet" every Tuesday to see what's fresh and happening at your favourite farmers' market! For market shopping tips, be sure to check out this page to ensure your market visit is everything it should be. And remember, please leave Fido at home- no dogs are allowed where food is being served!
