Mouthwatering colors. I am off to squeeze something into a pretty glass.

I think this is the planet saying “I still love you, and the sun will come back.” Just gorgeous.

Even with all the warm sunshine we’ve been getting in Southern California, leave it to a glass of orange juice to outshine it all :)

Another good one to try from my friend Inna from St.Petersburg, RU
Mix equal parts:
Fresh squeezed Lemon juice
Fresh grated Ginger root
Honey
Put 1-2 tsp in your cuppa (I use de-caff green tea)
The concoction will keep in your refrigerator for several weeks. A sure cure for the blues, instant energy!

I just bought my husband a birthday gift of a box of honeybelles (grapefruit/tangelo cross). They are amazingly juicy and sweet. Each time we enjoy them we fondly think of the road trip that introduced them to us. Mental sunshine!

Orange you glad you took a photo of that? Har Har. I had to go with the pun.
I have been eating grapefruit daily this winter. Pink Rio Grande Valley ones from here in Texas. I think that is why I have not had my January cold as yet.

I’ve been living off orange juice & craving it like crazy lately.
I have an empty bottle sitting on my desk as I type this. :)

I LOVE oranges (actually any citrus fruit). My husband just got a box full of oranges from a fundraiser and we have been eating on them for a few days and loving them!
Great – now I am craving fresh squeezed orange juice – going to have to pick up some oranges on my way home!

this is such a welcome sight in the frigid, gray Pacific Northwest…

Our grapefruit tree may be dormant this year but our orange tree is covered in valencia oranges! nom nom nom

Your first photo made my mouth pucker!

Nothing like freshly “Squozen” juice as an old boyfriend of mine used to say.
Claire January 13th, 2012 @ 6:43 pm
I love the first pic of the oranges. Looks so yummy. This is the time of year everyone I know picks the citrus from their trees and gives their fruit away. The trees here produce very well. My pink grapefruit tree over did it self this year. They are very good. I take a bag to work every day. My little tango tree surprised me with 4 fruits. It struggled the last couple of years but did good this year and hopefully better next year.

In the SF Bay Area, where we pay for good weather, I have an orange tree with oranges so sweet a grandson in Missouri never wants anything for his Feb birthday but as many oranges as I can get into the Post Office $10 box.

I, like Patr, have started a habit of a Rio Star, ruby red grapefruit once a day. Not only is it delicious, the beautiful color of the grapefruit cheers me… like Shreve’s glowing orange!
re: I Hermit’s recommendation. They serve this without the tea, in a cafe in Dharamsala, India. Absolutely the most wonderful combination. Kicks a sore throat’s behind.
Kimberly January 14th, 2012 @ 6:43 pm
I had actually been craving some orange juice for some time. I bought some mandarin oranges today and they’re so juicy and sweet! Perfect for a cold and dark day
Chris January 15th, 2012 @ 11:23 pm
Well done, Shreve. I can taste those images.
The smell (blossom, peel, tender leaves) and taste of citrus never fails to spark a rush of fond memory / endorphins in me. Sometimes I worry that I take it for granted… then I smell a tree-fresh fruit from my mom’s lime or lemon tree, or one of her four oranges. Olfactory bliss.

I have heard that if you have a juicer just take off the orange peel and leave the white. The white contains a bunch of B-vitamins and protein. I have tried it and although it is less sweet it is more creamy.

Mmmm fresh squeezed orange juice is the best!!
