Blood oranges have it all, a little bit sweet, a touch tart, and a huge punch of color. Use the citrus in sweet and savory recipes, from cakes to salads.
By Martyna Angell
I utterly adore blood oranges. Dressed in breathtaking hues of orange, crimson and red, their flavour is citrusy and sweet with just a hint of lip-puckering tartness. Blood oranges are a versatile fruit and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. They have a short season (August to early September in Australia, March in Europe and March-May in the US) but their sweet flavour and beauty makes up for that detail.
