While I am no stranger to eating one whole while standing over the sink with the juice dripping down my arms, I also love to tuck them into easy desserts and salads and more. These simple Upside Down Tarts are one of my favorite ways to use them.

In Pennsylvania Dutch country, you’ll find a style of coleslaw that uses a warm (!!) sweet and tangy vinegar-based dressing that helps keep the slaw crisp and bright for days, gets better the longer it sits, and is as good on a pulled pork sandwich as it is eaten straight out of a bowl.

Texas Fudge is one of those beloved regional dishes that has been quietly making the rounds at Lone Star State gatherings for a long while, beloved by anyone lucky enough to have stumbled across it.
