Wild fruit and nuts
Sorbus aucuparia ·
A small tree with pinnate leaves of 9 to 19 toothed leaflets and dense clusters of bright red, pea-sized fruits. Raw they taste bitter and astringent; cooked they make a tart jelly, purée or compote that goes with game.
Winter break
Only a little is left now: Common chickweed, Watercress, Common evening primrose, Wood avens, Rose hip (dog rose), Blackthorn (sloe), Barberry. From February or March it starts again with wild garlic and friends – until then, it is time for a nice walk.
