Blood Oranges with Honey
From the outside, blood oranges look like any other orange, but with a red blush. Inside they have the most incredible flesh, ranging in color from pink to burgundy, sometimes with beautiful slashes of brilliant red. Originally grown in Southern Italy, they are now harvested in California and are an excellent complement to any winter salad.
