Autumn Harvest Tray in partnership with Ball®Canning

Hello Friends! It’s time to give thanks and spend special moments with the ones we love! I love a beautiful table set up with lots of candlelight and a delicious array of seasonal foods mixed in with things we preserved from our summer harvest.

See how I included my delicious candied jalapeño into this beautiful and tasty Autumn Harvest Tray.

I am so honored to be a Ball® Canning ambassador and love showing you this month how you can enjoy the fruits of all your hard work by eating delicious canned food throughout the end of the year! Read on to see more of how I created this delicious spread with my favorite candied jalapeño

I love a tray filled with yummy treats. Foods you can pick and choose from and eat on a small plate as an appetizer or as tapas together as a family. I wanted to really focus on delicious flavors of the season, so I added fresh figs from our tree, muscadines from my friends vineyard, roasted root veggies from the garden, and even pumpkin hummus served inside an acorn squash.

The star of this however is the delicious candied jalapeño.! Not familiar with it!? Slightly spicy and sweet, it’s the perfect snack and adds the right amount of sweetness and space to your autumn harvest flavors. I made it with jalapeños from our garden and the perfect recipe from Ball® Canning.

I started with some root veggies and got them ready to roast! Beets and Carrots really turn sweet when roasted.

I just love the candled jalapeño so much! I am a sucker for things with a little heat and the flavors of fall with a little kick to them really are delicious! You can honestly roast any veggies you want and change up the fruit as well! I did this assortment with no bread or crackers but you can certainly add those as well!
