What’s in Season? October

Indian summer? Use the grill for one last big meal. Make pulled pork with cole slaw.

The market starts to get quiet this time of year. The berry and stone fruit vendors are gone. The quick perishables of summer are giving way to the longer-lasting root vegetables and squash that will carry us through the winter.

I am a terrible sucker for cranberry sauce. This is the time of year where I start serving it with almost every meal. Roast chicken? Cranberries! Pork chops? Cranberries! It’s an affliction that wears thin for those around me, long before the holidays are over.
