for some reason i always thought that oranges were a summer fruit, but much to my surprise they are at the peak of their season right now! i haven’t gone this bonkers over a harvest since july when the juicy white donut peaches were like nothing i had ever tasted. like the peaches, i have been toting home upwards of ten pounds of these seedless mandarin oranges every week. mostly i enjoy squeezing them into a tall glass of the best orange juice i’ve ever had in my life. but they’re also super easy to peal and pop in your mouth. i even made a pot of orange spice and red wine marmalade for christmas presents.
enjoy oranges now, while they taste the best. in fact keep your eye on all citrus, because lemons and grapefruits are amazing right now too.

I’ve been eating oranges like crazy lately, and tangerines and clementines. They always remind me of Christmastime in Saudi Arabia, and let me tell you, the clementines here are the best I’ve ever tasted. SO sweet, and so soft they just melt in your mouth.
And I just bought a few grapefruits and was about to eat one for dessert. I haven’t had grapefruit in years! Thanks for this beautiful post and that STUNNING photo!
I am a total orange addict. I love winter just because I can eat tasty oranges every day.
