<\/p>\nIt’s Autumn Equinox today…so let’s get that soup pan bubbling for a home-grown tasty treat!<\/p>\n
We are now in the season of reaping the rewards of the seeds that we have sown for our autumn bounty of vegetables.\u00a0 We cannot wait to get cooking some good, healthy, comfort food.<\/p>\n
Now is the time that we can harvest all the veggies that we have been tending to this year.\u00a0 Nothing SHOUTS September and October as much as a Squash!<\/p>\n
Our two varieties below are the perfect additions to any winter warmers you may be cooking!<\/p>\n
This space-saving, bush-type variety is a great source of Vitamin A and keeps for months!<\/p>\n
Early and space-saving! This variety has orange-yellow flesh is sweet, nutty and has a smooth texture.<\/p>\n
The recipe below has been devised for Burpee Europe by the chef Valerie Hamelin, using ‘Burpee’s Butterbush’ squash.\u00a0 It is sure to bring that cosy feeling of autumn to you in a bowl!<\/p>\n
