Oranges-
Oranges are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Oranges belong to the citrus fruit family. Oranges are a round fruit covered with a vibrant peel and contain a juicy, segmented flesh.
Oranges can be juiced, grilled, eaten as is. Oranges are often used in recipes for their juice and/or their zest.
There are two types of oranges: sweet and bitter. Sweet oranges are Valencia, naval, car acara, and blood oranges. Bitter oranges are Seville (marmalade and non food use only) and Bergamot (not edible, used in essential oils and teas).
Store oranges in your refrigerator to help retain their vitamin C content. They can also be stored at room temperature. If exposed to moisture, they can easily grow mold.
As we all know, oranges are know for their Vitamin C levels. Vitamin C is the vitamin known for boosting our immune systems and protects against signs of aging. Oranges also contain fiber, folate, potassium, copper and calcium.
Orange marmalade can be made quite simply with oranges and sugar, and without any added pectin or other ingredients.
Here is a basic recipe I (Jess) followed, omitting the water and using 2 oranges from the share box. I took two of the oranges with the thinnest peels as directed. I used the bottom 2 oranges and ate the top one shown here.
After chopping the oranges and running them through a food processor, they were ready to mix with sugar in the saucepan. After not too long, this was happening!

There are many renditions but the basic staple ingredients include wine, vinegar and/or citrus, shallot and butter. The sauce is also a canvas on which to paint the herb or spice combination of your choosing, or just leave it simple and let the veggies do the talking! Please note that it does require a bit of undivided attention for a few minutes at parts, so it can be tricky if you have kiddos under your feet.
