Winter is the time when nature slumbers but just before the year's darkest days take hold, there are riches to be rustled up from the hedgerows and forests. Chestnuts, rosehips, pine nuts, and sloes are a few of the ingredients a winter forager could use to make festive gifts such as Sloe Gin, or warming wintry dishes such as Chestnut, Cream, and Sage Soup.
