One of my great seasonal joys at this time of year is the arrival of blood oranges. The zesty freshness and heady aroma of blood orange is enough to brighten even the darkest of Winter days, not to mention adding welcome colour to the kitchen. Blood oranges have a limited season but are all the sweeter for it - full of flavour and so much seasonal goodness. If you’ve not tasted one before, they’re like a more intense, subtly floral orange with hints of Summerfruit and a bitter note of grapefruit. Here’s a love letter to blood oranges, and a suitably seasonal recipe for Valentine’s Day today.
