“Autumntastic” Culinary Weeks in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis

2022 Culinary Autumn’s theme will be: “Damson”. Autumn time is harvest time. Naturally, a bite into a sweet damson is a must. Don’t you agree? Damsons are part of the stone fruit family and a subspecies of plums. In the Tiroler Oberland region, those trees have been cultivated for many centuries.
 

Bright

The Alps not only glow in hues of red and gold in autumn, but also in bright violet. They are pure all-rounders in cooking and loved for their decorative colour.

Sweet

No matter where you stop for a bite in autumn, dishes with the popular fruit are the perfect way to fuel yourself up for a hike. They are used, for example, for sweet dumplings with crispy bread crumps or as roaster, which is traditionally served with Kaiserschmarren. Furthermore, you can also prepare jam with the fruit. A very delicious dish is yeast dumplings filled with sweet jam. A heavenly dessert! Have you had it yet?

Spirituous

The fruit is also used to make schnapps. And: What better place to enjoy a glass of fruity-strong schnapps than in the mountains? Cheers!
 

Dense

The violet trees are primarily grown in domestic gardens for use in the kitchen. However, also carpenters value the trees as they consist of high-density wood and have a beautiful red colour.

Autumn time is harvest time! The sweet "Damson" should not be missing!
