December is all about warm kitchens, comfort food, and making the most of winter produce, and your Hungry Artisan Food Mill is the secret tool that turns those holiday ingredients into silky soups, spreads, and cozy classics with almost no effort.
To kick off this festive month, here are three new and totally underrated ways home cooks are using their food mills in December. These ideas are perfect for busy families, winter entertainers, or anyone trying to bring more homemade magic into the season.
🎄 1. Make Ultra-Creamy Winter Squash Bisque Without a Blender
Forget splattering hot soup in a blender. Your food mill transforms roasted or steamed:
-
butternut squash
-
kuri squash
-
acorn squash
-
delicata
…into an unbelievably smooth bisque base.
Why it works:
The fine disc removes every fiber, giving you that high-end restaurant texture.
Just mill → whisk in warm broth + cream → season → done.
🍎 2. Create Seasonal Fruit Butters Without Peeling or Coring
December is the season for cozy fruit spreads, apple butter, pear butter, and even spiced cranberry-apple butter.
Your food mill lets you skip the tedious prep:
-
no peeling
-
no coring
-
no hand-straining
Just cook fruit until soft → run through your mill (medium or fine disc) → simmer with sugar and spices.
Try December flavors:
✨ vanilla pear
✨ maple-spiced apple
✨ cranberry-orange butter
✨ gingerbread apple butter
