Winter Citrus Salad with a Honey Drizzle

At this time of year, citrus fruits abound. Citrus is rich in antioxidants that helps boost immune systems and protect against illness.I love that the tartness of the citrus, plus the sweetness of honey, herbaceousness of fresh thyme, and a little salt and olive would make a wonderful winter citrus salad.

I picked the citrus for their visual appeal, with flesh in two shades. You can use all naval oranges or whatever citrus you have available to you.

Ingredients serves 4

  • 2 organic cara cara oranges
  • 2 organic naval oranges
  • 2 organic grapefruits
  • 2 T honey
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 t fresh thyme
  • 1 t sea salt flakes

Procedure

Peel all the citrus fruit, ensuring all the white pith is removed.


Slice the citrus and arrange on a serving plate, alternating colors, if you are using different colored fruits. Sprinkle with thyme and sea salt. Drizzle with honey, lemon juice, and olive oil. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
