Shaun, definitely not dumb. Hey, if you don’t know – opening an orange and seeing dark purple can be quite a shock – I am sure you are not the only one to have had that reaction. And now you know…!

Robert, I’m intrigued… blood orange and chocolate? Do elaborate, please!. What would you recommend for my first taste of this combination??

MsGourmet, wow how fabulous, your very own supply when you want them! What kind of blood oranges are they?

Jessica, did you say “blood orange olive oil cake”?? I think so – and I think I’ll be baking that really soon! Better hurry up, before blood orange season is over! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

And last but not least, Steve, thank you for the giggle! Nothing like a good ole “knock knock” joke!!

I love blood orange so much that about four years ago I decided to plant one in my garden – nothing like growing your own citrus!

Citrus always gets me running for the market. I used to have lemon, lime and orange juice the minute I got home from school in my younger years. We used to have a hand-crafted steel, hand juicer for the task of juicing. I love the juicer you have though. It would have sped up the enjoyment of my favorite juices. Blood orange season is far too short. Especially because it is great when paired with chocolate.

I threw the first one I tasted away since I thought there was something wrong with it. Now I know better…. pretty dumb huh…

Mmm. I need to get out my juicer! It’s not vintage, but it will do the trick. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love blood oranges! They are bountiful at the farmer’s market, and are soooooo juicy! I’ll never eat a normal orange again.

A blood orange a day keeps the doctor away. Is it?
However I used to know like this: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ”

What fruit it is, I know one fact that’s all veggies and fruits are to keep the doctor away, no:)

The sweet/tarte taste comes thru in your fabulous photos. I need to go out now and buy some blood oranges. I hope that they are as delicious as you make it sound. I love the vintage juicer! As a kid my grandmother used to make her granddaughters juice with her juicer. It certainly brings back great memories.
