Winter weather does not have to mean an end to fresh produce. While the variety is not quite as bountiful as in spring or summer, some foods do reach peak ripeness during winter months.
When combined with fall foods that store well, like apples, pears and potatoes, it’s easy to eat in season this week with wonderful, winterful recipes. Need fresh produce storage tips? Visit the produce storage page on www.MealsMatter.org at http://ht.ly/8TTFY
