This morning I picked a basket of oranges from one of the trees lining our driveway. At this point, there are two orange trees as well as a lime, lemon and several mandarins which are big enough to be productive. Hopefully, in another year or two the more recently planted citrus will catch up.
Once washed and sliced, it was time to put the Cusinart with its juicer attachment to work.
These oranges are the “Moro Blood” variety. They do well in our mild coastal climate and ripen earlier than the Valencia orange we also have. There were no seeds in this batch — just lots of juice. Juice that was not orange, but red.
