Delectable Delights for your Fall Soiree
Choosing the right food for your event can be one of the most challenging decisions in event planning. With so many tempting options, narrowing down your choices is crucial. To help you out, we've curated a list of FFP's recommendations for your upcoming Autumn celebration.
1. Aperol-Bourbon Fizz: With only 4 ingredients, this fall cocktail is perfect to warm up any chilly evening and add a seasonal touch to your celebration.
2 tablespoons (1 oz.) Aperol
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 oz.) bourbon
2 tablespoons Simple Syrup
1/2 cup Club Soda
Orange wedge or peel twist
2. Autumn Apple Salad: Fresh picked apples, sweet potatoes, and dried cranberries all mixed together for a delicious cool-weather salad. You can dress the greens with slightly sweet and tangy dressing made with mustard, OJ, vinegar, sorghum syrup, garlic powder, and olive oil and toss in feta and pistachios before serving.
3. Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese: Small puff pastry squares are topped with caramelized onions and a sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese, creating an effortless appetizer that always impresses. A light drizzle of honey at the end adds the perfect touch of sweet and salty that everyone will enjoy.
4. Cranberry Stuffed Pork Chop: Taste the flavors of fall with this sweet and aromatic cranberry-sage sauce. Create a 2-inch-deep pocket in thick pork chops, fill it with the sauce, and then sear the chops in your skillet for a deliciously savory dish.
5. Cranberry Bread Pudding: This autumn-inspired bread pudding strikes the ideal harmony of sweet, tangy, and indulgent flavors. Featuring vibrant cranberries, a custard infused with almond and clove, and a sweet orange zest icing. Not only is this perfect for dessert, but also not too sweet to be breakfast the next day as well.`
