The magazine stands are full of
Pumpkins! Turkeys! Cranberries! Cranberries! Cranberries! Especially the cranberries!!!!!!
Having spent most of my life in Plymouth County, where cranberries are the leading agricultural commodity, I’m a major fan-girl.
Cranberry Sauce. Cranberry Compote. Cranberry Chutney. Cranberry Tart. Cranberry Cake. Cranberry Sauce IN Cake, seriously in this Outrageous Chocolate Fudge Cranberry Fudge Cake from Ocean Spray, which Beth, who drinks kale with chia seed shakes for breakfast (yes, CHIA, as in chi-chi-chi- chia) and all sorts of other healthy, hale and hearty foods recommended and made and shared…outrageously glorious cake!

Quince are botanically speaking, cousins to apple and pears. And wonderful – once cooked, turning red.
Edward Johnson in The Wonderworking Providence of Sion’s Savior in New England of 1654 says,“…so that in this poor Wilderness hath not onely equalized England in food, but goes beyond it in some places for the great plenty of wine and sugar, which is ordinarily spent, apples, pears, and quince tarts instead of their former Pumpkin Pies.”– (p. 210, 1910 ed.)
To make a slic’t Tart of Quinces, Wardens, Pears, Pippins, in slices raw of divers Compounds.The foresaid fruits being finely pared, and slic’t in very thine slices; season them with beaten cinamon, and candied citron minced, candied orange, or both, or raw orange peel, raw lemon peel, fennil-seed, or caraway-seed or without any of these compounds or spices, but the fruits alone one amongst the other; put to ten pippins six quinces, six wardens, eight pears, and two pound of sugar; close it up, bake it; and ice it as the former tarts.Thus you may also bake it in patty-pan, or dish, with cold butter paste.– Robert May. The Accomplist Cook 1660
