The Hazelnut is a large brown nut found on the ground in Fall. It is the most valuable of the four common Fall forage items, ahead of the Wild Plum, the Common Mushroom and the Blackberry. Late in Fall, shaking a Maple Tree can also knock one loose. Hazelnuts fill a slot in the Fall Foraging Bundle and go into Wild Seeds (Fa). In the kitchen they make Roasted Hazelnuts and Stuffing, two filling dishes that most villagers like as gifts.
The in-game description reads: That's one big hazelnut!
Location
Hazelnuts spawn as Fall forage around the valley. The Backwoods, the Mountain, the Bus Stop and the Railroad are good places to check. New forage appears each day, so a regular route through these areas keeps a steady supply.
Maple Trees offer a second source. In the second half of Fall, shaking a Maple Tree has a small chance to drop a Hazelnut instead of a seed. A farm with several Maple Trees can add a few extra nuts each week this way.
Hazelnuts can also be grown from Fall Seeds. Crafting Wild Seeds (Fa) unlocks at Foraging level 6. It takes one Blackberry, one Common Mushroom, one Hazelnut and one Wild Plum and makes a pack of ten seeds. Each plant grows one of the four items at random.
At the Desert Festival, Kent's stall sells a few Hazelnuts for Calico Eggs.
Prices
A Hazelnut sells for a good price for common forage, and the price rises with quality. The Botanist profession makes every wild nut the highest quality.
A Keg turns a Hazelnut into juice, and a Preserves Jar turns it into pickles. Both more than double its value. A chest of spare nuts at the end of Fall is worth putting through either machine.
Uses
Placing a Hazelnut in the Fall Foraging Bundle helps to finish the Crafts Room. Blackberry, Common Mushroom and Wild Plum share that bundle.
Cooking three Hazelnuts makes Roasted Hazelnuts. The Queen of Sauce teaches the recipe on television. The dish restores a lot of energy and health from a single ingredient.
Cooking a Hazelnut with Bread and Cranberries makes Stuffing. Pam mails the recipe once her friendship is high. Stuffing gives a short boost to Defence.
Hazelnuts also go into Wild Seeds (Fa), as described above.
In tailoring, a Hazelnut in the Sewing Machine makes the Brown Overalls. Placed in the orange pot at Emily and Haley's house, a Hazelnut counts as a dye.

Gifts
Harvey, Leah and Linus like Hazelnuts.
The Dwarf, Krobus and the Wizard dislike Hazelnut. The same goes for Caroline and Jodi, and for the shop owners Pierre and Willy. Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike them too, and so do the bachelors and bachelorettes Elliott, Haley, Sam, Sebastian and Shane.
A raw Hazelnut is a narrow gift. Cooking it into Roasted Hazelnuts or Stuffing turns it into a dish that almost every villager likes.
Notes
Save a few Hazelnuts from the first Fall. The bundle, the Wild Seeds recipe and both cooking recipes all need them, and the nuts do not return until the next Fall.
