Each week, I head to the farmer's market. It's always fun to see what new fruits and vegetables are at the market. Produce never tastes better than when it's fresh from the farm. Take advantage of summer's bounty and preserve some fresh produce.

You can can or freeze many fruits. I remember spending many summer days helping my mom freeze and can fruits and vegetables. My favorite was (and is) sliced and frozen peaches -- they're so delicious when they're just partially thawed. You can also try some of these recipes from Cooking Light and create yummy jams, chutneys, and relishes for use throughout the year. Some of their recipes include:

• Spicy Cucumber Relish
• Blueberry-Chipotle Chutney
• Raspberry-Almond Jam
