Sweet Peppers - Photo:Chad

I went to the Dane County Farmer’s Market this week, excited to get home and start the pickles I had been planning on doing since Wednesday.  I knew it would be just me this week, and that our garden was starting to produce some good-looking produce, so I kept it rather light.  I was excited to see the peppers and, knowing mine wouldn’t be ready for a few more weeks, decided to give them a try.  It was also cool to see the Door County cherries and apricots in the stands.  I thought I would continue the weeks intentions of “making the most of” summers bounty, by drying them for easy snacking.

Saturday afternoon was to be a whirlwind of prepping and preserving, so I took a quick jaunt down State St. for Maxwell St. days, and called it a day.

Here’s what I ended up with.

• Prairie Farm Produce – Broccoli and Lettuce
• Palm Mushrooms Cellar – Baby Bella Mushrooms
• Peterson Produce – Multi-Color Sweet Peppers
• Sutter Ridge Farm – Garlic
• Canopy Farm – Grape Tomatoes
• Door County Fruit Market – Apricots
• Grassy Way Organics – Beef Hotdogs

In the next post I’ll tell you about the pickling process and how that went.
