FRUIT AND VEGETABLES IN SEASON FOR JANUARY…

THE VILLAGE KITCHEN

With Veganuary very popular in January, it’s nice to know that fruits and vegetables are available this month.

The National Trust write why not get the New Year off to a good start by tucking into the best fresh veg available in gardens, allotments and shops.

January is a great time to prune back your fruit trees, and if you do it now, you will see fabulous results later in the year. It’s quite a quiet time on the harvesting front, but tasty veg such as parsnips, swedes and leeks should be good to go. 

Vegetables in January are:

  • Brussels sprouts
  • Spring green cabbage 
  • Savoy cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Cauliflower
  • Kale
  • Parsnips
  • Swedes

The fruits in January are

  • Apples
  • Pears

FRUIT OF THE MONTH-DAMSONS…

Damsons make delicious jam, gin and mixed with apple for a tasty crumble. Or, how about this role-poly doughnut pudding with custard from Delicious Magazine.

Damsons offer great health benefits as they have a good sauce of Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, E, K and high in Vitamin C which can all help support a healthy immune system.

They are a blue-black fruit that look like small plums. The wild varieties are extremely tart so not something you would pick and wasps love them.
