Looking for some seasonal produce ideas and tips? Look no further!

  • Acorn Squash - For a quick and tasty side, slice an acorn squash in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and microwave on high until the squash is tender and cooked through. Top with a drizzle of vinegar or fresh herbs.
  • Cranberries -- Combine cranberries with apples, raisins, brown sugar, apple juice, and dried onions for an incredible cran-apple relish. You can access the recipe in our member database.
  • Pears -- Did you know that pears ripen from the inside out, rather than the outside in? Choose firm, heavy pears and let them ripen at home for a day or two.
