This is the post where I get to brag about the orange tree in my backyard. Actually, they probably aren’t oranges as they taste nothing like oranges. They are tart, seedless and easier to peal than a Little Cutie, so if you are an orange diagnostician, please feel free to chime in. Since they are orange and globular we refer to it as the orange tree.
Like I said, easy to peal. Which is a good thing because you need so darn many to make any useable amount of juice. We plopped them in the juicer and the resulting frothy juice was like an Orange Julius. (Anybody hang around the mall in the late nineties? Is Orange Julius still a thing?) Since the juice is crazy tart I made a simple syrup with one of the peels, we poured in some champagne and bam! Mimosas. Happy Sunday.
