For instance, this past weekend MDM went to the local super Wal-Mart. For a number of years, I like many others have been unable to get blood oranges in my area. My daughter spotted them in the produce section of Wal-Mart. Following up on that find, I spotted one of the employees gathering up the oranges and placing them in the back room for return. By asking a few questions, I was able to purchase the box for 1 cent over cost of each bag. Not only that, but the employees went through the box and removed any questionable oranges. Plus they explained to me and gave me a sample that when blood oranges look terrible on the outside, a condition with other oranges that would lead you to believe that they were ‘going,’ in fact, was an indication of their ripeness and peak flavor. And are they nice, colorful, and flavorful, just slightly more tart than other oranges. As a result, I am scouring the internet for blood orange recipes and my friends and relatives are sharing in this wonderful delicacy. I am looking at making juice and freezing it in ice cube trays, drying them, making candied slices, and vinaigrette sauce –even a cheesecake!
