Fall is certainly here. It is getting chilly and the days are getting shorter. The holidays are just around the corner – so hopefully you’ll be able to balance all of the candy, gravy, and pies with some other fall favorites. Read on for some hearty recipes to use up all of the seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are often cheaper and tastier than out of season when they need to be transported a longer way. These fruits and vegetables are all in season in Massachusetts during the fall:
| Apples | Acorn Squash | Broccoli |
| Butternut Squash | Cauliflower | Cabbage |
| Carrots | Celery | Cranberries |
| Garlic | Hubbard Squash | Mung Beans |
| Onions | Potatoes | Pumpkins |
