It’s beginning to taste a lot like autumn around here! One of the best ways to get into the fall feeling is to incorporate fresh seasonal produce into your menu with the help of local farmers. Edible pumpkins, winter squash, pears, apples, and sweet potatoes are each ideal for tasty fall dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious!
There’s no better way to highlight beautiful pumpkins and their versatility than with a roasted whole pumpkin filled with a savory stew. Pumpkins can serve as both the main ingredient and the serving dish – now that’s a farm-to-table meal! If you’re feeling especially fall, you can even serve the pumpkin seeds before the main course for a simple and sustainable appetizer. Check our recipe here and follow along to create your own gourd-geous Roasted Pumpkin Stew!
With all these edible pumpkin varieties, why stop with just dinner? We definitely have to order dessert. If you’ve ordered any of the many “pumpkin spice” drinks or desserts available this season, you may be asking, “Wait, where’s the pumpkin?” Don’t worry, we can help with that! Farmers market fresh recipes put the actual “pumpkin” back into Pumpkin Spice. Creating a pumpkin spice recipe is easy to do with a few simple ingredients – Pure Pumpkin Puree, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Cloves. Pumpkins are available from the pumpkin patch every day.
