“The delicata squash boasts a subtly sweet taste and a delicate texture, making it perfect on pizzas or simply roasted with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper,” Myer told The Post.
Pro tip: scoop out the seeds, and you’ve got lots of room for pine nuts, shallots, mushrooms and the rest of your favorite ingredients.
“Slow-roasted pumpkins are blended with sage, honey, soy milk, and a touch of brown sugar in this dairy-free ravioli,” Myer explains.
Simply put, this wouldn’t be a fall grocery list without pumpkin ravioli — the epitome of fall comfort food.
According to Myer, the Adirondack Creamery Ice Cream, Pumpkin Pie is “a limited-edition pumpkin ice cream with a special blend of spices and pure pumpkin.”
Now, doesn’t that sound heavenly? It pairs well with vanilla ice cream, too, so much so that you can have a makeshift pumpkin pie for a late-night snack.
Made with Hudson Valley apples, this dry hazy cider is packed full of warming spices & pumpkin pie,” Myer said. Made with Hudson Valley apples, this cider pours hazy golden brown reminiscent of a chilled mulled cider.

“If you’ve never had one of our FreshDirect scones fresh from the oven, you’re in for a real treat,” Myer said. “They bake up hot and flaky and are subtly flavored with pumpkin and warming spices for a delicate fall treat.”
“This velvety, dense preserve combines the delightful sweet-tart apples from Red Jacket Orchards, located in upstate New York, with a hint of cinnamon spice,” Myer explains. “Spread it on a variety of items, from freshly baked scones to hearty slices of whole wheat toast.”
Additionally, apple butter also complements pork dishes, making this product oh-so-versatile. “Use it as a sauce for pork chops or try it in your next barbecue sauce,” she suggests.
“Delectably moist and rich with flavor, our pumpkin bread hits the spot when you’re craving a comforting taste of fall,” Myer said. “Each loaf puts the pumpkin front and center, accenting it with warm spices and sweet chocolate morsels.”
What’s more, you can enjoy it for breakfast, dessert or as a mid-day treat — whether plain or with a bit of butter or cream cheese.
“Drink Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew straight out of a tap! This coffee is incredibly smooth, and the unique box keeps your cold brew fresh by keeping light and air out,” Myer said. “The coffee stays fresh for 30 days after opening.”
Not to mention, who wouldn’t want a pumpkin-spiced coffee waiting for them in the fridge each morning? We know we would, if we’re being honest.
“The folks at Talea made the perfect easy-to-drink, light-bodied ale with pumpkin pie spice,” Myer notes. And sometimes, you just want a beer that tastes a bit like pumpkin pie.
The Talea Beer Co. Basically Pumpkin Autumn Ale is one of FreshDirect’s newer offerings, too.
