Where To Get The Best Pumpkin Pies in Connecticut

It's Fall in New England folks, so that means ''Pie Season'' is officially here! So, where can you get the best, fresh homemade pumpkin pies in Connecticut? I have found three places that have been raved about over many years. If you are a Pumpkin Pie lover then you will want to keep reading. "Quality is our most precious ingredient" is the slogan of Oronoque Farms in Shelton, Connecticut. The history of the company reflects their hard work and dedication to their pies and their customers. ''In 1985, Oronoque Orchards was destroyed by a fire. Although no longer available for sale, the pies were not forgotten by the many customers who had enjoyed them and the many fond childhood memories of visiting the original bakery in Stratford. In 1993, the Winton's daughter, Susan and her family reopened in the White Hills of Shelton under the name of Oronoque Farms. In 2004, new owners have moved in to carry on the Winton family traditions of their homemade pies and baked goods. Charlene and Jenette plan to continue, along with the help of Ronnie, the baker, and their families to make the same great pies that everyone remembers from their childhood. Shelton Oronoque Farms is open daily from 10am to 6pm, closed Mondays with extended hours on holidays.''

In May, 2023The Rachael Ray Show sadly went off the air after 17 succcessful seasons. Many fans have been wondering what's next for the popular talk show host? It looks like Rachael's heading back to TV soon with an all-new series with an important purpose. Rachael won't be cooking or interviewing any celebity guests, instead she will be helping families rebuild their homes after disaster. According to the Country Living Exclusive ''Rachael Ray Rebuildsis a topic close to Rachael's heart. In 2020, Rachael and her husband, John Cusimano, faced the unthinkable when a fire broke out in their New York home.

She chronicled the rebuilding process with fans of her show, and shared a tour of the home in November 2021 after a 15-month-long renovation. That experience drew Rachael to help others in similar situations. On the 10-episode series, which will air on Hulu, Rachael and construction professional Anthony Carrino (of HGTV's Kitchen Cousins) meet people from across the country in the aftermath of catastrophes like weather or fire. The team helps the families navigate the rebuilding process, from dealing with insurance, contractors, financial challenges, and the emotional toll it takes. The goal is to get them back into their homes.'' Rachael Ray is a cook, television personality, businesswoman, and author. She hosted the daily talk and lifestyle program Rachael Ray.

Crockpot Cinnamon-Orange Applesauce, A Fall Favorite in The Nutmeg State

If you are from New England then you love homemade applesauce. In Connecticut, a fruity, cinnoman apple sauce made with farm fresh apples is a definite must. This Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce recipe is super easy to make in your crockpot (slow cooker). It only requires four simple ingredients you most likely alrady have in your pantry. This is a super easy snack for any time of the day. This cinnamon applesauce tastes amazing, especially when its warm, right out of the crockpot. The aromatic cinnamon-y scent that goes through your entire house while its simmering in your crockpot is delightful. I add round orange slices to mine while it's cooking in the crockpot for an even more seasonal-scented experience. Apple Sauce dates back to at least the Middle Ages. Apple butters were brought to the Americas by German immigrants such as the Moravians and Pennsylvania Dutch. They are traditionally associated with the Appalachian region of the United States and Southern Pennsylvania. Apple sauce is served as a side dish in northern Europe and North America. In the United States, packaged apple sauce is primarily branded as a children's snack, and in school cafeterias, according to Wikipedia.

It's A Connecticut Thing: Martha Stewart's Nutmeg Cookies With Vanilla Icing

Connecticut is unofficially known as the "Nutmeg State" and because of that, Nutmeg Cookies are the perfect cookie for our state! ''Nutmegger'' is a nickname for people from Connecticut. The official nickname for Connecticut is "The Constitution State" however, "The Nutmeg State" is an unofficial nickname for the state, hence the nickname "Nutmegger". The name comes from Yankee peddlers selling nutmeg in colonial times. These nutmegs may have been the real thing; the hard aromatic seed of the nutmeg tree, an East Indian evergreen tree. They possibly were the real thing but customers unfamiliar with the native form of the spice might have decided they had been sold a counterfeit after futilely trying to grind the unusually hard seed, according to Wikipedia.

Where To Get The Best Homemade Apple Cider in Connecticut

Where can you get the freshest homemade Apple Cider in Connecticut? There are, of course, several to choose from in the Nutmeg State. I have found four Apple Orchards/Cider Mills that truly stand out and that you may want to try. First on the list is a place that is known for their super delicious apple cider and seasonal apple picking in the Fall. So many people have raved about BEARDSLEY'S Cider Mill & Orchard, located at 278 Leavenworth Road in Shelton, Connecticut. They have been making homemade apple cider since 1849. They are having a Pick-Your-Own (PYO) apples starting on Sunday, September 10th. It opens at 10am (if it's not raining) and they will be picking Gala and MacIntosh apples. Pick your own apples is on WEEKENDS only, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. "Did you know that it takes approximately 25 average size apples to make 1 gallon of cider? Our cider is 100% pure juice. We make it from sound, ripe apples that may have blemishes or are too small for selling by the bag. All cider apples are washed and scrubbed at least once, and most are washed twice before being ground and pressed. Our press is a state-of-the-art system with built-in high pressure washers to keep it clean and sanitary. At the end of each day of pressing we completely wash down the mill and sanitize the entire room. This is one of the reasons we think our cider tastes better. Our White Hills Distillery spirits are now available in our Cider Mill Farm Store!"
