Fall: Seasonal Foods & Recipes
Fall Recipes | September Foods | October Foods | November Foods
Fall is a time of transition from the best of summertime choices to a harbinger of the coming winter. Strongly seasonal fruits like pomegranates and persimmons again become available after a long absence. Winter squashes show their widest variety. And the apples of Washington and New York make for fresh cider drinking all over the chilling countryside.
