Seasonal Cooking recipes Page 9

Recipes built around what is in season, from autumn squash and summer corn to holiday roasts and fruit preserves. The sample runs from Parmesan herb roasted acorn squash, honey-glazed turnips and caramelized Brussels sprouts to pumpkin soup, creamy corn soup and a make-ahead picnic pasta salad. Fruit gets its own treatment in apricot jam, cardamom fig preserves and canned dill pickle relish, written for jars.

Holiday cooking is well covered too, with cranberry sauce, chestnut dressing, au gratin potatoes, herb butter turkey and prime rib for Christmas and New Year's Eve tables. Browse by produce when a harvest box arrives, or by occasion when you are planning a gathering. Side dishes and soups are usually the quickest way in, while preserves and large roasts call for more time and planning.
