Nuts Week

Week Eight

Throughout the Willamette Valley, orchards with stout, spreading trees pop in the fall with the sound of hazelnuts dropping. Crack one open and you’ll swear you taste Oregon. This week baker Elizabeth Beekley from Two Tarts Bakery in Portland grabs a basket and goes harvesting at a farm near Monmouth to gather hazelnuts at the source for one of her many sought-after sweets.

Featured Recipe:

Hazelnut Cinnamon Shortbread

When fresh hazelnuts are harvested, it’s time to start thinking about lazy fall weekend mornings. This bread goes great with a nice cup of coffee and a good book.
