The last days of apple harvest are in the rear-view mirror and it’s time to slow down and shift gears into the winter season. We crave the simplicity, warmth and good food. Winter is our ‘from scratch,’ era.

We collaborated with Ark Foods to bring you some fabulous winter season recipes. Their signature Honeynut Squash is a cultivar of winter squash bred from butternut and buttercup squash. It is packed with Vitamin A, which boosts immunity. And who doesn’t need better natural immunity? It’s also a great source of fiber and magnesium. Honeynut + Sweet Natured apples is a nutritional powerhouse that is not only delicious, but hearty and sustaining.

First on the deck is a slow-cooker Honeynut squash and apple soup. Get your soup course on!

Next in our fab fall collab with Ark Foods is Sausage & Apple Honeynut Squash.

It’s sweet, it’s savory and a breeze to throw together. Stuffed with fresh sausage from Karns Foods and our sweet-natured apples. Then topped with goat cheese and our favorite maple candied pecans from Whiskey Hollow Maple.

Finishing out our fabulous fall collaboration, we’ve got Honeynut Apple Butter.

This recipe is comforting and versatile, perfectly made in your slow cooker. Spread it on your multi-grain toast, add a dollop to your smoothie bowl or even add it by the spoonful to your oatmeal or yogurt. It would also make the perfect homemade neighbor gift. It’s made with Ark Foods Honeynut squash and Whiskey Hollow Maple syrup.
