Wow! reading that was better than a glass of orange juice (which I no longer drink because it will spike my sugar levels. sigh.). Anyway, I'm with you on the easy peelers (which are not) and with you on the Christmas citrus in the toe of the stocking transition...soooo interesting on the history of oranges. No mention of marmalade? maybe another post? I'll definitely read that. And on that note, I'm off to hand peel an orange and put the peel in a stonkingly hot bath to release the oils (never thought of that before so thank you). This has been just what an early morning, faintly guilty read of Substack should be. xxxx
Thanks Jenny! Yes there may be some marmalade-related musings anon. I've never made it before so that will be an adventure. I hope you enjoyed the bath. XXX
