It is blood orange season again! Could not resist purchasing them at the market today for our Spanish dinner at home night. Blood orange, it an orange with a tinge of crimson red skin and flesh. Taste wise, it is a cross between a regular orange and grapefruit. In making this Spanish favourite, if blood oranges are not available where you, use a blend of citruses that are available - main idea is to be innovative and use whatever that is in season locally.
Have fun!
What you need:
Zest, segments and juice of 1 blood orange
Zest, segments and juice of 1 lemon
3-4 tablespoon of yuzu (a japanese citrus similar to a cumquat available at any good japanese grocer) juice
1 bottle of white wine (I used a bottle of sauvignon blanc) - chilled
1 bottle of lemonade - chilled
Ice
How to:
1. Add blood orange and lemon zests, fruit segments and juice into a serving jug;
2. Add yuzu juice (use cumquat or kaffir lime);
3. Just before serving time, add white wine, lemonade and ice into serving jug.
Note: To make it kid friendly, replace white wine with sparkling juice.
