Blood oranges a winter treat from Summerhill Market

blood oranges -550

The Moro blood orange is in at Summerhill Market, making it’s celebrated but rather short appearance between January and about April. The sweet, aromatic and deep red citrus carried by Summerhill comes from California’s Imperial Valley where farmers and scientists have been working to create a fruit as famous as the Mediterranean variety. Italy and Spain are important blood orange origins. It is a nice bit of midwinter cheer and The Bulldog can’t resist the packages of pre-sliced blood orange available at Summerhill. You can buy them uncut as well although their skin can be a little thicker and thus harder to peel than conventional oranges.
