We have quite a few citrus trees there and this is the time of year most of the fruit ripens. We brought home lots of lemons and oranges. I have a number of recipes that use lemons. Lemon tarts, lemon pie, lemon cake, lemon curd and so forth. I don't have many that use oranges though
Do you have a favorite recipe that uses citrus fruit to share with me?
Lucky you to have access to that wonderful fruit!
ReplyDeleteI'm always taken aback when I am reminded you have citrus trees that bear fruit. Amazing! I don't make much with fruit. I eat oranges, of course, and put lemon in my water, and I use dried citrus peel in recipes. If I had an orange tree I'd have to try making orange marmalade.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make an orange pie......made like a lemon pie but with oranges. I loved them. I think you can use oranges, in place of lemons in most recipes......you might have to adjust the sugar.
ReplyDeleteA friend brought me a bag of oranges and a bag of lemons, I'm going to squeeze them and freeze the juice for this summer.
Have a great week!
Those fruit look so yummy. I think you can substitute oranges for lemons in many recipes. I also love to make date nut bars and soak the dates in orange juice first. I may have to go make some now that the thought came into my head. Have fun with all that baking. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethis is so awesome to grow your own citrus. I love to make lemon meringue pie-I bet you could also use oranges instead. you could juice the fruits and freeze for later
