McCormick Launches Color from Nature Food Colors with Fall Recipe Ideas

McCormick has created recipes to help consumers celebrate all the flavors of autumn.        

"The crisp air seems to inspire us all to start baking again," says McCormick executive chef Kevan Vetter. "Create an autumn frosting palate with our new Color from Nature Food Colors, which are made from ingredients such as beets and turmeric. You can combine the trio of starter colors—berry, sunflower and sky blue—to make everything from a maroon glaze for an Autumn Leaf Cookie to yellow-and-orange-tinted white chocolate to make Candy Corn Fudge."

The McCormick Kitchens recommend using Color from Nature Food Colors in icing, beverages and other no-bake recipes for best results. Ideas for fall sweets include: Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes, which can be iced with green frosting then top with a marshmallow "pumpkin" dipped in orange frosting for a sweet addition to fall gatherings; Glazed Autumn Leaf Cookies, which can be decorated leaf-shaped maple cookies with glazes tinted the stunning colors of fall foliage, like maroon, forest and pumpkin; Spiced Caramel Apple Cider, this seasonal coffeehouse favorite at home with apple cider, caramel topping and apple pie spice. Add an extra touch of flavor with maple, rum or orange extract; and Spiced Cupcakes with Autumn Colored Cream Cheese Frosting, the spice cupcakes can be frosted in different shades of yellow and orange, and organize in an ombre formation—from dark to light—for a colorful addition to a dessert table.
