Produce in Season Now: February

by Michelle Jones

February continues a plentiful produce season for root vegetables and citrus fruits, with the addition of guavas. Growing up in Florida one of my favorite treats whenever I visited my grandmother was guava jelly and guava paste. We'd spread it on butter crackers and be in heaven! I'm not as sure about the regular guava fruit by itself, but I definitely know where to find the aforementioned.
