In-Season Recipe Swap: Oranges

  Tags:

This week's In-Season recipe theme is oranges! :) We love having fresh oranges this time of year, and like many fruits, my favorite way to eat them is just plain! :)

One of my favorite recipes using fresh orange zest is Joshua's Orange Vanilla Dream Cheesecake. This is an amazing creamy cheesecake fairly bursting with orange flavor; Joshua declares this his top favorite cheesecake! (I'm partial to chocolate myself...) ;)

Our Cranberry Orange Muffins use fresh orange juice and zest, and look so festive! :)

And a recipe that is "orange" but doesn't use fresh oranges (can that still qualify for an in-season recipe? Maybe...), a homemade Orange Julius is an especially refreshing summer treat. :)

I love oranges, and Dad actually just brought a bag home yesterday evening. Organic too! I'm thinking of making some of your cranberry orange muffins, as everyone likes them! yum yum!

Yummy!

I just got back from my weekly grocery shopping trip, and the Cranberry Orange Muffins are definitely on my list of things to bake this week! My only problem... I couldn't find fresh Cranberries! I bought frozen ones. Do I need to thaw them before baking? Will they just be mush? Has anyone tried this recipe with frozen cranberries?

Frozen cranberries

I have made the cranberry orange muffins with frozen cranberries (cranberries that I had bought fresh and washed and frozen myself). I put them in frozen and it worked just fine! Mine were IQF (individually quick frozen) so they stirred in easily...

Perfect!

Thanks Tammy! These are also IQF, so it should be just fine. I can't wait to make them in the morning!

Fruit Salad

My mother-in-law always makes a great and simple fruit salad as part of breakfast sometime around the holidays. It is just orange and grapefruit supremes (each section individually peeled- Granny's job!) and apple and banana chunks. The citrus juice keeps the bananas and apples from turning dark. It is so good...especially if you can find someone with the knife skills and patience to supreme all the citrus!

Thanks for the tip on the

Thanks for the tip on the KAF blog -- I had never visited.

I know you've mentioned you enjoy grinding your own wheat -- do you have some posts on here that I might be able to read? I'm thinking about making that transition myself (when we move out of our apartment).

Thanks!
