Michael Davenport shines a spotlight on canned food, which can be wonderful as long as you add some imagination. He offers tips to enliven canned foods by chilling canned pears and adding mint leaves or supplementing canned biscuit mix with parmesan or poppy seeds. When it comes to canned pineapple, Michael urges listeners to consider it in a different category than fresh produce. Try it in barbecue sauce, an omelet or with green beans. He shares a recipe for canned clams and sings the praises for cranberries, which can be enjoyed all year round in soufflés, pancakes, bread and more when they’re preserved in a can.
