Recipe Tips
- Harvesting the Best Flavors: When using oranges in your recipes, make sure to choose the right variety, like Navels or Valencias, with sweet-tart flavors that will elevate your dishes to the next level.
- Balancing Zest and Juice: To avoid overpowering your dishes, use the zest sparingly and reserve it for garnishes, allowing the delicate citrus flavors to shine, while adding juice in moderation.
- Infusing Floral Notes: Combine orange zest with fragrant herbs like basil or mint to create a symphony of flavors that will elevate even the simplest of dishes and leave a lasting impression.
- Unlocking the Power of Piths: Don’t discard orange piths, as they hold a wealth of nutrients and can be used to make delicious marmalades or candied piths that add a delightful twist to your baked goods.
- Discovering New Pairings: Experiment with pairing oranges with contrasting flavors like dark chocolate, pomegranate, or pistachio to uncover exciting taste combinations that will set your creations apart.
