January may seem bleak as far as treats as we suffer through the post holiday month, but it’s actually abundant with choices for hearty greens and vegetables in season like leeks, carrots, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, parsnips, winter cabbage and potatoes.
Special fruits and citrus fruits are brightening up shopping centers with treats like blood oranges, pears, Clementine’s, passion fruit, pomegranates and tangerines. Sevilles, are a special indulgence and are available just a few weeks in the middle of the month. They have a short shelf life, but can be frozen to make marmalade, orange curd, used in fruit salads or juiced.
