Homemade products from more than 60 Illinois companies are on the menu this weekend at the 2010 Illinois Products Expo.
The annual event will be Saturday and Sunday at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
There is an admission fee but food samples are free.
The 12th annual "Food and Cooking Extravaganza" will be in the Orr Building.
Agriculture Department Director Tom Jennings says the Illinois Products Expo introduces consumers to food made in Illinois. The department aims to get the home-state products displayed on local store shelves.
Food will include fresh meat products, gourmet seasonings and sauces, homemade jams and jellies and specialty dressings. Beverages also will be available and Illinois wine will be for sale by the sample, glass or bottle.
