Some fruits and vegetables in season this Autumn

Just like the leaves change color, so do the foods in season! As cooler weather approaches, so do different types of fruits and vegetables. Here is a list of some of our favorites that are in season this autumn.

Apples 

An all-time favorite, apples are perfect for pies, tarts, muffins, and ice cream toppings. Did you know there are more than 7,500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world? The most popular type of apple in the US is the Red Delicious. Other favorites include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Golden Delicious.

Pears 

A classic fall fruit, pears are perfect for canning or baking into pies and tarts. Pears are also a great addition to stuffings and savory dishes. Some of our favorite pear varieties include Anjou, Bartlett, Bosc, and Comice.

Pumpkins 

Of course, pumpkins are not just for carving! Pumpkins are a type of winter squash that can be roasted, pureed for soup, or baked into bread or pies. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is heavy for its size with dull-colored skin. Some of our favorite pumpkin recipes include Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins and Pumpkin Spice Cake.

Sweet Potatoes 

A versatile vegetable, sweet potatoes can be roasted, mashed, or made into chips or fries. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of vitamins A and C. When choosing a sweet potato, look for ones that are firm with smooth skin. Our favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is roasted with a little bit of salt and pepper.
