At this time of year, a visit to a farmers’ market or U-pick can fill your pantry with fresh fruits and vegetables. Minimize the amount of produce that finds its way into the compost bin with a little creativity. Freeze fruits and berries for smoothies and fruit crisps or freeze shredded and chopped vegetables for sauces, soups and casseroles. Try canning your bounty to line your shelves with jars of jams, pickles and sauces. Extra vegetables can even make a great stock. With a little planning, your kitchen could be full of Michigan produce for many months to come
