Fall Produce Recipe #3: It’s Tropical!
While pumpkin is at the top of the fall produce list, did you know that it is a tropical fruit? It’s true. It is.
Tropical Pumpkin Loaf
Tropical pumpkin or calabaza (Cucurbita moschata) is one of the most important fruit crops in Puerto Rico, occupying second place in terms of the amount of revenue generated by fruit crops. It is also consumed throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, as well in the US mainland where it is important in a growing hispanic market. Currently U.S. production is limited to Puerto Rico and subtropical areas of Florida with occasional plantings in some of the northeastern states.
For something different, try a little Tropical Pumpkin Nut Loaf! This pairs well with coffee, heated or not, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even a dollop of fresh whipped cream – it’s a tropical treat to be enjoyed by all!

Fall Food: An Apple a Day
Each fall, there are certain smells and foods that call to mind the comfort of home. Red Delicious Apples are always a favorite. Whether you bake them in a pie or eat them whole, either way, are generous in their deliciousness!
In order to add a twist to those wonderful apples, below is a simple and creative way to serve them for either a snack or even an appetizer.
Here is the easy step by step recipe:
1/4 c peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 1/2 tsp. honey
1/2 c. miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsps. raisins
4 medium un-peeled Red Delicious Apples
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips and raisins.
Core the apples. Take the filling and fill the center of each apple.
Chill for at least one hour. They will be ready to slice into 1/4 inch rings.
This recipe yields about 2 dozen……and they won’t last long!
