The Simple Beauty of the Blood Orange

sunrise, 2011

Blood Orange Juice
serves 1 (but leaves one wanting more)

3 blood oranges

Learn from my mistake and wear proper attire (old t-shirt or perhaps something red -- this can be messy). Slice oranges in half. Remove juice from oranges (I like to use a simple and quiet manual juicer). Pour juice into glass of choice. Serve Immediately.

serving suggestion: drink while looking out of a window at sunrise

    How did you know I love blood oranges? The skies are pink and orange now in the morning and evening so I'm looking forward to enjoying them while drinking this. Have a great weekend!

    Mmmm. Too bad fruit is so expensive in Denmark or I'd have made it right away :-)

    The blood orange is my poetic muse too - I am inspired by your suggestion to enjoy it at sunrise.

    I meant to come here yesterday and write you a comment ... the red glow of the sunset reminded me of your blood orange post :^)

    ha ha like that....look out of the window while drinking.
    But come to think of it, how many of us really relax while having food.

    I think your serving suggestion should apply to everything. Amazingly enough I've never eaten a blood orange...I should remedy that.

    I actually don't mind spills. To me it's almost like a reminder of a moment in time. Not really good attire sure. But old stuff; I love my clothes with a little "history" on them.

    I usually start my morning by juicing a cup of oranges. Love the little play on the serving portion.

    A challenging recipe, but worth the effort, I think. Will immediately (for serving) really be soon enough?

    Thank you, every one of you. I hope you are all taking in your fair share of vitamin C today. Maybe a little chocolate too.

    Juice in a mason jar is simply perfect. Blood oranges make this sophisticated.
