Here's a great list of what's fresh to eat and cook with for the month of September.

September Seasonal Produce Guide

Written by Becky

Late Summer and Early fall leads to heavy loads at the farmers market and thus very long lists in this Seasonal Produce Guide for September.  Bear with me because there are so many good recipes to enjoy right now!  Fruit is still making a good appearance as are all of the vegetables and you can’t forget the big, busty, ripe tomatoes right now!  This time of year I love making a big batch of marinara to store up for the winter. I also serve this One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes, Sausage, and Kale  frequently for a quick dinner and a big bowl of apples once again graces our kitchen island.

Though I’ve given you plenty of ideas below for recipes, I also wanted to add a few end of harvest ideas for you.  Just pick one of the ingredients listed above and find a way to store it up for a mid-winter celebration.  This year try shucking a lot of corn to freeze for winter meals, or make your own jam (this maple vanilla apricot jam is a little taste of heaven), can some peaches in this honey simple syrup (one of my favorite things to enjoy mid winter), or try your hand at pickling – this strawberry pickled radish recipe is fun and I always make at least one batch of these pickled vegetables every year.

I look forward to seeing what all of you are making this harvest season.  Don’t forget to tag your seasonal food photos with #eatseasonal!
