Holiday weekends always result in us pulling out the old family recipes. But this one, slightly adapted, hardly needs a recipe. It’s easy to make and delicious. If you want some protein, eat it along with a handful of nuts. Great for breakfast, or as a side with lunch, or dessert. Grammy Gladys would never have used the blood oranges, and sometimes added a spoonful of sugar, but truly, you don’t need it.
Use one orange, one grapefruit, and one blood orange per person.
Cut off the peel – use for something else if you like, or compost.
Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces, removing white pith. You’ll probably need to dump some juice from the cutting board into the bowl during this process. No one said family recipes weren’t messy.
Stir in, at most, a tablespoon (15ml) of sugar or maple syrup, depending on how sweet you like your citrus.
We ate ours with some peanuts – a slice of almond butter or peanut butter toast is lovely as well.
