Hi, Rhubarbarians!
The seasons they are-a-changin! Don't you just love September, when there is still an abundance of summer produce but the fall goodies are coming around too? LOVE IT.
Have you checked out all of the farmers market September recipes yet?
Well... the oven has been turned back on! It's still pretty warm here in the Inland Northwest, but the mornings are cooler and our AC hasn't kicked on in about a week. So that oven is getting some serious love. ALL THE ROASTED FRUIT, PLEASE!
Roasted fall fruit with cinnamon: a simple, cozy favorite
It seems like each september we absolutely have to do these two things:
- roast some fruit and pretend it's pie filling
- make cider
Last year we made a huge fall fruit bake and devoured every bite of in in like MINUTES! This year, we made a gorgeous, deep purple pan of roasted grapes and figs. With walnuts, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Oooooooh.
Roasting fruit really brings out the natural sweetness and takes the cozy factor to the max. Put on your flannel and your slippers, grab a cup of your fave tea, and take a big ole bite of this pie-but-not-pie goodness.

Well this is exciting! Roasted fruit intrigues me. I've never tried roasted grapes, but my mouth is watering from those gorgeous photos. YUM. How refreshing to serve this alongside all the roasted veggies.

This sounds incredible! I have family visiting in a few weeks and was contemplating a fall cheese board. After seeing this, I'm thinking it needs to happen for sure. I'm obsessed with warming cinnamon flavors this time of year and have already started to bring on the fall vibes inside and outside of our home, despite the fact that it's still 80-somethinbg degrees here. haha. But I think I started a trend, because after I busted out the fall wreath and mums, a few neighbor did the same 🙂

Roasted grapes and figs are amazing together! Highly recommend this recipe to share as an appetizer. Leftovers are delicious over Greek yogurt. I shared this with my in-laws and now they think I should open a bed and breakfast! lol
