I knew summer was coming to an end when I woke up the other morning to a cool, autumn breeze blowing through my open window. Then the pumpkins and squash appeared at the grocery store, and my chunky sweater came out to stay.

loooove Fall.

It’s finally cool enough you don’t have to walk around like a sweaty mess all the time. The air is fresh and crisp, and there is an exciting buzz about…the upcoming holidays are just around the corner, and everyone knows it.

And, of course, the food. Pumpkin spice E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, roasted squash, soups and warm bread. Yummm.

This is the perfect recipe for this time of year, because it uses autumn squash and summer berries. This transitional period is so fun because you can mix the Summer and Fall flavors into deliciously unique combinations.

We got these raspberries and acorn squash from our fave peeps over at Tagges! If you’re a local, RUN to the nearest stand while they still have berries! And if you miss the berries, you can at least grab a basket full of squash, apples, pears and corn. Mmmmm.

This sauce combines beautifully with roasted veg, but we’ve also eaten it as a sauce on a turkey-sourdough sandwich, or drizzled over grilled chicken and rice. It’s so versatile and has such a unique smoky, fruity flavor.
