9 Dutch Oven Fall Recipes

Maple and Spice Glazed Ham 

Nothing quite says fall like a delicious maple syrup recipe. This maple and spice glazed ham recipe is a great meal to feed the whole family or while entertaining guests, particularly over Thanksgiving. The maple syrup combines wonderfully with the mustard, vinegar, rosemary, and spices to give the ham the extra kick it needs. The sauce should simmer gently for approximately 45 minutes before being brushed onto the ham. 
 

The Dutch Oven is ideal for preparing this recipe, locking in all the rich flavours with its tight-fitting lid and slow-cooking the ham to perfection until it is tender. This iconic piece of cookware features a self-basting cycle, doing much of the cooking for you. This recipe takes just over two hours to make and can feed up to 12 people. 
 

Maple Delicata Squash

This maple delicata squash recipe is yet another one of our Fall classics. Delicata squash, also known as sweet potato squash, is sweeter than traditional butternut squash and is extremely easy to peel. Begin by browning the pancetta in the Dutch Oven to remove as much excess fat as possible before introducing the sage and cinnamon stick. 
 

The seasoning of the squash is quite simple, including salt and pepper, with a drizzle of maple syrup. Once the squa is appropriately seasoned and browned, cook it for approximately 20 minutes until it is completely tender. The Dutch Oven offers superior heat retention, ensuring a delicious final dish. Typically, harder squashes like butternut or acorn will take longer to cook. Garnish with pumpkin seeds and parmesan cheese and voila  – dinner is served! 
 

Cinnamon Buns

Looking for a quick recipe for the sweet tooth in the family? Look no further than our cinnamon buns. Featuring ingredients commonly found in the pantry, these cinnamon buns are extremely easy to make and take just over an hour to prepare. The key to preparing this dessert is to get the dough just right. The dough may start off sticky but keep kneading and you will see it transform into the perfect soft dough.
 

This will ensure that you can easily roll it into thin rectangles to make your cinnamon buns. Once completed, brush the dough with maple syrup and sprinkle it with equal parts cinnamon and raisins. Carefully roll the dough into a spiral before baking it in the Dutch Oven. This iconic piece of cookware will bake it to perfection for approximately 30 minutes, cooking the dough evenly. Finish by pouring the remaining maple syrup over the cinnamon buns and serve! 
 

Maple Cinnamon Bagels

Our maple-cinnamon bagels make for a great breakfast treat for the Fall season. Begin by combining all the ingredients for the toppings in a small bowl, including maple sugar flakes, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. This will give your bagels some much-needed flavour.
 

When preparing the dough, aim for a smooth texture before transferring it into the Dutch Oven. This iconic pot offers the dough the ideal environment to slowly rise due to its thick walls and tight-fitting lid and typically takes about one hour. Once this is complete, empty the Dutch Oven and bring the poaching water to a simmer.
 

Gradually lower three bagels at a time using a skimmer in the poaching water, cooking them for 45 seconds on each side. While this recipe may require an element of finesse, you won’t regret it when the aroma of freshly made bagels takes over your kitchen.

Honey Cranberry and Pistachio Brioche

Our honey cranberry and pistachio brioche recipe offers a unique twist on an otherwise traditional recipe. First, combine the milk with honey, orange zest, and vanilla seeds before making the dough. This mixture complements the brioche wonderfully, offering the dough a rich flavour profile. 
 

Once completed, work the dough until it is smooth and elastic. The trick with preparing brioche is to generously glaze the dough with butter before cooking it in the Dutch Oven. This iconic piece of cookware will ensure it is tender and soft when serving. 
 

The filling adds yet another layer of ingredients to the brioche, featuring cream cheese, pistachio cream, honey, and vanilla. Putting it all together may seem tricky, but the assembly is arguably the most important step. Finish by baking it on the middle rack of the oven, covered, for approximately one hour. Let it cool in your Dutch Oven for 15 minutes, and enjoy!
