Harvest time brings to a close the growing season, and gives us the fruits of our summer labor. During the cold months to follow, there is nothing quite like a robust meal of "Soul Food" saved from the harvest.

This pan of potatoes, string beans, onions, red sweet peppers, corn on the cob and sliced ham all simmering in their combined juices puts a smile on my face and makes me forget the cold outside of a winter day.
