It’s the season for citrus and blood oranges are easy to find in your local grocery store.  These particular oranges have a Crimson flesh color hence their name. They are delicious eaten as is or added to your favorite recipes. Be sure to check out my Winter Sweet Citrus Salad just posted on the blog.

Winter is a great time to eat fruits that are in season. The pomegranate arils can be plucked from the fruit or save yourself some time and simply buy the prepackaged container found in your grocer’s produce juice department.

  • These photos are gorgeous and the parfaits look absolutely delicious! This post has reminded me that I need to do more with blood oranges.

  • Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! I just wish they’d stock blood oranges where I live! I have never, ever seen them on my remote North Sea island.

    • Thank you Elizabeth. The blood oranges I found were bagged and were as small as clementines. Good luck on your search. I hope you find them:)

  • Looks so summery – I want one now! Laura and I have just arrived in Taipei and with the new year fireworks in the background and this balmy weather, this would be the perfect treat to finish the evening – if only! 😛

    • Thanks Felesha. It is such a great way to switch things up. You never realize what you might come up with . A new favorite dessert!
