The changing of the season from Summer to Fall is always bitter-sweet. We long for those warm summer days of barbecuing but look forward to Autumn for our crunchy red apples to our sweet butternut squash.
Our Recipe of the Month eases you into Fall with the taste of our Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar and a full flavored aged cheese.
