1. Use fresh, local fruit that is in season. Cook with citrus in the spring,
berries in summer and apples and pumpkin in the fall.
Food prepared at the peak of its freshness has unbeatable flavor and nutritional value.
2. Avoid adding table sugar to fruit dishes. Instead, choose healthy ways to enhance the flavor of fruit
in your cooking. For example, serve baked apples with frozen yogurt, cinnamon,
walnuts and dried cranberries; or add balsamic vinegar to strawberries to bring out their natural sweetness.
3. Don’t forget frozen as an option. Freezing vegetables in season and storing them for future use
is an easy way to get the flavor of the harvest all year round. For quick dishes, choose frozen,
pre-chopped organic vegetables from your grocery store.
