It’s the season to be Nutty!

Hazelnut recipes

We are very fortunate in that we have a Hazel bush very near to home and no squirrel population.

We do miss our Squirrel friends, but we also enjoy a few foraged Hazelnuts….. The bush produced some pretty impressive nuts last year, but they are even bigger this year., the 10p coin is for scale. So here are the recipes we created last year. Expect several more strange and innovative nut recipes soon as they are just beginning to fall.

The Hazel Pasto won't be repeated here as Sue really didn't like it. You can't win them all.....
