Sustainable Winter recipes for using and preserving seasonal produce

Find sustainable seasonal visual recipes for using and preserving Winter seasonal fruits and vegetables as pickles, shrub syrups, compotes, dips, cakes, breakfasts, drinks and using up left over pickles and pickle brines in pickle cocktails. Winter offers unique fruits my favourites being blood oranges and tart cumquats or kumquats that make incredible blood orange shrub syrup and cumquat pickles preserved with vinegar both of which are amazing in pickle cocktails. Winter quinces also make amazing quince cordial and quince pickles and quince and apple jam.
Recipes to make the most of Winter

My sustainable Winter recipes and photography make the most of the cold season by getting cosy with a warming umami hot whiskey toddy with whiskey infused with seasonal home grown shiitake mushrooms, comforting compote of rhubarb, and rhubarb cacao spice cake. Bring brightness to your Winter with my pomegranate recipes for fancy pomegranate sour and homemade grenadine and pomegranate molasses.
