Our picks for winter produce.

DATES

Versatile and delicious, dates can be the perfect addition to a savoury dish. Check out this mouthwatering lamb and date tagine recipe.

STRAWBERRIES

Berries aren’t just for summer! Packed with Vitamin C, strawberries are the perfect winter fruit – and they’re grown in Australia year-round. Enjoy them straight from the punnet as a snack or jazz up your winter desserts – strawberry-apple crumble, anyone?

QUINCE

Try your hand at making quince paste – serve with a soft cheese, biscuits, and a local drop – or poach them in red wine and honey for the perfect winter dessert.

MUSHROOMS

Mushies are a winter staple. Try this mushroom risotto recipe that will warm you from the inside out.

GRAPEFRUIT

Gone are the days of half a grapefruit for breakfast. Try this super citrus in a winter cocktail, blend it up for an immune-boosting juice, or add it to a side salad for some extra zing.
