Long, slender, pale green Italian frying peppers (also called Cubanelles) fry beautifully and lend a sweet flavor to pasta,
pizza, and salads. You’ll find them at supermarkets (depending on your region) or summer farmers’ markets.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
