Canned & Jams
Preserving fruits and vegetables is the best way to keep a reserve of out of season produces. You can be sure that no preservatives are added. It doesn't happen often that my trees overproduce, but I sometimes get some extra fruits from my neighbours. When the production of seasonal fruits is at their peak you can find crates of peaches and apricots at a very reasonable price.
Comes the end of the Summer, it is the tradition in Italy to preserve tomatoes sauce for the winter, and it is usually an opportunity to get together to preserve tomatoes sauce in a barrel .
