Winter, spring, summer, and fall each have their fruits and vegetables. Farmers' markets don't occur as frequently in the winter, but that doesn't mean that there isn't in-season produce. Many warmer climates' fruits and vegetables are ready for picking right as winter hits. We've got a list of fruits and vegetables that are fresh and plentiful in winter, plus recipes to go with them so that you can keep on cooking until spring arrives.
