Fall
Spicy Cranberry Sauce
Removing the seeds from one of the chiles lessens the punch. If you like more heat, leave them in. If less, scrape out seeds from both chiles.
Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart
If you're the type who prefers desserts that go heavy on the fruit, this apple tart's for you.
Cranberry-Fig Sauce
Figs bring a touch of sweetness to this bright, chutney-ish sauce and nicely offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
Dry-Rubbed Roast Turkey
Cooking the turkey on a rimmed baking sheet is great for all-over browning, but be very careful as you remove it from the oven so that the drippings don’t slosh over the sides.
Fall Spritz
Set out both bottles with glasses and a bucket of ice and let guests do the rest. Just remember the ratio: one part amaro to four parts hard cider.
