1- Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
The beauty of this soup is its simplicity. Just a few ingredients make for a big comforting and flavorful soup. Our Autumn Spice Blend is a unique combo of aromatics – onion, garlic, shallot – and warm spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice. It serves as a big flavor boost for chicken, pork tenderloin and turkey. Oh, and root vegetables like butternut squash – and this soup!

3- Celery Fennel Salad
The most perfect winter salad! Crunchy toasty pecans and blue cheese top bright crisp celery and fennel with a homemade vinaigrette using our Champagne Pear Balsamic Vinegar and Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Garnish with a big handful of rich Bergeron Pecans for added crunch.
4- Autumn-spiced Carrot Salad
Our Autumn Spice Blend is such a flavor explosion, we’re thinking of renaming it “All Year Long Blend.” Delicious on root veggies (like these carrots.) Fantastic on pork tenderloin. A must for Thanksgiving turkey. It’s subtle, rich flavor pairs perfectly with so many things.
5- Honeycrisp Apple Sangria
We adapted this libation from Food and Wine, subbing out the schnapps for more ginger, cloves and apple. We dredge the glass rims in Cinna Nilla Sugar so that each sip delivers the full essence of Autumn. This Sangria is perfect for fall days that don’t feel so fall-ish yet. Cool, refreshing while still capturing the flavors of fall.
