Orange Blossom Special
A trip to Florida wouldn’t be compete without a trip to a Lake County citrus grove.
The Mister and I are blessed to have a friend who manages an organic grove on the outskirts of Mount Dora.
Even after a long day of antiquing, we were not too tired to pick a few tangelos. “Fresh from the grove taste” is more than an advertising slogan.
These beauties have seen no dye, no fertilizer, no pest control, and they are delicious!
And the grapefruit!
True love is sectioning about fifteen pounds of grapefruit for the Mister and me. We have it in the morning, and often for dessert, too. I love it on mixed greens with slices of avocado for lunch.
Do you love citrus, too?
Yes. I love citrus and an avocado and grapefruit salad is just about the best.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to have it so fresh!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love tangelos..and I love the idea of citrus with avoacados.....the textures are wonderful together. ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteWe are citrus lovers, too. Sectioning grapefruit makes it so much easier to just grab a little dish and enjoy. DOTR has been gobbling it down on this diet and it seems as though I'm refilling the big bowl everyday!
ReplyDeleteThose oranges and grapefruits look amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous. I got some good ones before I left FL last May on a quick getaway to see my best girlfriend. mmmmm.
ReplyDeletethere is nothing better than a fresh orange and a slice
ReplyDeleteof avocado! decadent.
my in laws winter in florida and send us many boxes
of sweet oranges. i took one up to my dad in the
hospital who asked where it was from (meaning which
grocery store.) florida! :)
hope you're still enjoying some of that florida sunshine.
I love oranges and grapefruits. I actually frequently have an orange for dessert in the evening - delicious and staves off the ice cream cravings!
ReplyDeleteHow fresh and wonderful! I hate I couldn't see you while you were in Tampa!
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws used to have a citrus and avocado grove on their property. We have bags of fruit so much so that sometimes it would rot before we could get to it. How I miss it now! :) xoxo
