What to make in September

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

September is a time when we transition from summer to autumn dining.

It is a good time to make the most of seasonal fruits such as apples, pears and plums. Tarts and crumble puddings are a perfect way to use autumn fruits. They can also be used to make this mixed fruit chutney, a tasty condiment to add to sandwiches or a cheeseboard.

If you have a glut of tomatoes this easy tomato chutney is a good way to preserve some to enjoy over the months ahead. Simply pop the ingredients in a pan and cook! It will be ready to enjoy over Christmas and also makes a useful homemade gift.

This is also a time when sweet potatoes come into season in the UK. Why not try this lightly spiced sweet potato and ginger soup, make a batch of sweet potato cookies or some sweet potato gnocchi to serve with roast vegetables and your favourite pasta sauce.

​

​Baked apples​

​Baked apples are one of the simplest of September desserts but also one of the best. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or custard.

​Pear and almond tart​

This tart combines fresh pears with almond frangipane in a sweet pastry case to create a delicious autumnal tart.

​Sweet potato soup​

​Sweet potato soup is a hearty vegetarian soup seasoned with fresh ginger and is perfect for autumn days.

​Apple custard tart​

This spiral tart is made using filo pastry, slices of apple and homemade custard to make a delicious and attractive dessert.

​Sweet potato gnocchi​

​Sweet potato gnocchi pairs well with roasted vegetables and tomato sauce to make a tasty dinner. These gnocchi are suitable for freezing and can be cooked from frozen for convenience.

Until next time 🙂

With the chilly weather over the last few weeks, I've been making lots of filling and comforting foods such as cakes, puddings, and soups. I recently published a recipe for ginger sponge pudding. It is oven baked, has a honey and lemon syrup and is just the thing for winter days. Bake, turn over onto a plate and top with extra syrup for a gooey, sticky treat. What I like about this pudding (apart from it being simply delicious) is that it is baked in the oven and no lengthy steaming is...
