 P DORSET L E N T Y  What’s local, seasonal and delicious this issue? 7 Harvest Festival { T I P } Autumn’s abundance means rich pickings for all us food lovers. A ripe British plum is hard to beat and surprisingly versatile. Apples are at their very best and go so well with blackberries from the hedgerows. Comfort food is back on the menu, with parsnips, leeks, celeriac and others just asking to be roasted or covered in cheese or both. Simple stewed fruit is a great way to use up gluts. Simply add a few teaspoons of sugar, a little water and heat until reduced. Use it at breakfast or for desserts. www.menu-dorset.co.uk
