Sharing 15+ January Produce Recipes to get you through the deep freeze of winter. These recipes are comforting and delicious!
I know Fresh January Produce Recipes are something some of us might not consider. Because, let’s be honest, what’s really growing in winter in the US? Yes, I realize not all of you are in the States, but everyone goes through the season. And for me, that’s gearing up for winter.
What produce is available for January Produce Recipes?
So, again, what’s “seasonal” in winter? Produce that has a long shelf life based on storage. That’s why winter is full of root vegetables and gourds. And citrus. These foods can store for long periods of time under the correct conditions.
Where I live, summer produce is slowly dwindling. We have root vegetables like rutabagas, squashes, potatoes, leeks, cabbage, beets, carrots, and onions. There are some hearty greens like chard, kale, and collards. Then there’s citrus. Grapefruit, lemons, limes, etc.
This leads to a lot of comfort food recipes and vibrant citrus recipes. I am a range of recipes from breakfast and brunch to dinner. I have Meyer lemons, sweet potatoes, pears, cabbage, and broccoli just to name a few of the winter produce in this delicious round-up of recipes.
Save and share my Idea Pin to make these recipes all January long! Make sure to check out my 15 Farmers Market Recipes for August, too!
