This food holiday takes place during a time of year when many stone fruits come into season. Apples, pears, and more are ripe and delicious. Beyond the traditional fruits, squash also qualifies for this holiday. Their fall flavors blend well with other foods in season. Don't limit yourself to the traditional idea of fruit during this occasion.

Think you know your fruits? Think again! Some of our favorite "veggies" are actually fruits hiding in plain sight. Let's uncover some delicious imposters:

  • Savory Eggplant and Tomato are both members of the berry family. So go ahead, bring on the ratatouille or eggplant Parmesan!

  • Olives are just like juicy raspberries and peaches.! The savory olive is a drupe (a fleshy fruit with a pit), opening up a whole new world for your fruit-filled day.

  • Squash and Pumpkin are a part of the fruit family, ripe and ready to add seasonal flavor to your celebration.
