Blood Oranges from T H Brown and Son
Make the very best of the short Blood Orange season. This underused beauty enhances any menu. Blood oranges mainly come from Mediterranean countries (Southern Italy in particular) and are often considered to be among the finest dessert oranges in the world.
Substitute ordinary oranges with blood oranges – they can be used in soufflés, puddings and sauces and work well in brulée or sorbets. They are particularly delicious in jellies (add a shot or two of orange liqueur ). The fiery colour and unique flavour of blood orange juice also make it a great addition to mayonnaise.
Blood Oranges are rich in antioxidants―vital for healthy cells―including vitamin C, which aids in healing, boosts your immune system, helps your body absorb iron, and even helps reduce the risk of cancer. This citrus fruit is also a good source of fiber, which helps lower cholesterol.
