Made-to-order Mango Salsa
For those of us who like to put food into jars, preserving locally-grown seasonal fruits & vegetables ensures that our raw ingredients have spent the least amount of time getting from farm-to-table, and it also means money stays in our communities; a winning combination.
Sometimes, when it comes to the produce I use for preserving, I have to veer off my usual Pacific Northwest path, and buy fruit from far away. When I do, it's usually for a very good reason.
