September, October, November
It’s getting cooler and it’s time for Mother Nature to prepare to hibernate. There only enough time to jar the last of the pickles and cook the last batch of jam before winter sets in. For me autumn is the cue to dust off the pie dishes and casseroles. Hearty food is at the order of the day with plenty of roasts and casseroles.
