Health food store & farm shop, Pickering
We are now two weeks into 2022. It can be a difficult time of year with cold icy weather and fog
but the good news is that each day we have more daylight. By the end of next week we will have 25
minutes more of daylight!
In the shop we are getting deliveries of lovely mediterranean citrus fruit - clementines, oranges and blood oranges. Blood oranges are high in vitamins A and C. They are only in season for a short time so do try them.
We also have seville oranges which are mainly used for making marmalade but in Spain, seville orange juice is used in fish dishes; the rind can be candied with sugar and also incorporated into a very tasty orange marzipan. Food writer Carol Wilson likes to slice the peeled fruit crossways and sprinkle with salt and a little olive oil to accompany fish (particularly salmon) dishes. In Iran, the juice is used instead of lemon with fish and other dishes. The sharp juice makes a wonderful alternative to lemon juice and produces marvellously tangy sauces and piquant salad dressings.
See this week's fruit and vegetable price guide for details.
Keep safe.
