Chef John's Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
This roasted butternut squash soup is my favorite fall soup of all time. It's inexpensive, easy, nutritious, and the roasted squash makes it naturally sweet and absolutely delicious!
Cranberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting
This recipe makes light, tender cranberry cupcakes with a subtle hint of orange, topped with a creamy, buttery white chocolate frosting—delicious! The frosting generously frosts at least 16 cupcakes, so you may want to halve the recipe.
Fuyu Persimmon Pie
Most persimmon pies are made as a custard pie with persimmon pulp. This one is made with sliced firm fruit and the delicious fall flavors of cinnamon and brown sugar. Make sure you are using Fuyu persimmons (short, squat-looking fruit--like an orange tomato) and not the astringent Hachiyas (large and acorn shaped).
