Autumn is a season of nostalgia and melancholy when the fading beauty of nature reminds us of the passing of time and life. As Sara Teasdale wrote in her poem “September Midnight,” this is the time when we feel “a cry of longing through the dark.” Let’s explore some of the flavors that evoke the memories and emotions of autumn, such as caramel, maple, and pear.
Salted Caramel
Sweet, salty, and creamy, salted caramel is just what you need! A classic autumn flavor, it has a rich sweetness and a deep golden hue that make it perfect for baking or making a tasty fall beverage.
Salted caramel and apple are a wonderful combination, so an apple pie or tart would be a great option for this flavor.
Maple
We know your brain went there, but maple syrup is not just for pancakes. You can use maple syrup with many other things.
Maple syrup has the color, smell, and flavor of fall. It is good on sweets, poured over pancakes, and added to oatmeal, and it makes a pumpkin pie even better.
Pear
Pear might not get as much attention as apple or pumpkin, but it is a tasty, sweet, and flexible fruit that is very sweet in the fall.
For a cozy fall night dessert, why not cook some pears in a syrup with cinnamon and vanilla and top them with a rich salted caramel sauce?
If there’s one thing changing seasons teach us. It’s embracing change. And why should change not go all the way to our dining tables? The fall season brings with it many new and exciting opportunities to try different dishes and drinks for your gatherings. So, enjoy the simple pleasures of this beautiful season, and make the most of the delicious food and beverages it has to offer during your celebrations.
