The best of the farmers market

This is the best time of year at the farmers market and you have to make the most of it because it doesn't last long. One way we have been spreading out the bounty is by buying seconds and making things that we will last. Most farmers will have seconds that they sell, they are the fruits that have been bruised or are a few days older. They are still good, just not as pretty, but they are cheaper. Many will keep them under the table or, if not just ask if they have any that day. Over the last month we bought a box of seconds peaches and made fruit roll-ups with our dehydrator. We also made tomato sauce that we put in our freezer. Tomato sauce is easy and a good way to use many things from the market. Ours includes:
Tomatoes
onions
peppers
egg plant
zucchini
garlic
basil

Cook everything together other than the tomatoes with a little olive oil. Once the onion has turned a little brown add cut up tomatoes and turn down the pot to simmer and let it sit until most of the juice has boiled off. Put it in a container in the freezer and you will have yummy farmers market veggies for the winter.
