Certain seasonal ingredients epitomize holiday meals. Get a jump on prep by ensuring specific items are in stock and ready-to-use.
- Cranberries: Think beyond the canned condiment and stew in-house cranberry sauces with ginger, oranges, black pepper, and jalapeno peppers. Use to sauce turkey, spread on sandwiches, and stir into desserts.
- Pumpkins, yams, and winter squashes: Roast in bulk and have on hand for mashes, fries, spreads, and stuffings. They add bold color and subtle sweetness.
- Hearty greens: Focus on kale, cabbage, arugula, collard greens, and shredded Brussels sprouts for cold-weather salads and starters.
- Roasted apples and pears: Pre-bake and have on hand for easy meat sauces, condiments, and dessert fillings.
- Cruciferous Vegetables: Give side dishes a health halo with broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts ready to use right out of the bag.
