Yield: 1-1/2 cups
Ingredients:
2 Large oranges, peeled and cubed
1 Tomato, chopped
1/2 Jalapeno, minced
1/2 Cup of red onion, minced
1 Tbsp of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Orange zest
1 tsp Ginger root, minced
1 tsp Garlic, minced
Pinch of Salt
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients, except cilantro, in a suitably sized bowl.
Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until chilled.
Stir in the cilantro and serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
2/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Orange, juiced
2 Tbsp. Orange zest
2 Tbsp. Coarse-grained mustard
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, orange juice, orange zest and mustard.
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes: Need to use very sweet oranges for this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Mixon Orange Marmalade
¼ Cup Orange Blossom (or other) honey
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine marmalade, honey, lemon juice, and mustard. Cook and stir until heated through. Use as a glaze on ham, turkey, chicken, or pork. Any leftovers can be used as a sauce.
Ingredients:
4 Medium oranges
1 Medium lemon
1-1/2 Cups water
1/8 tsp Baking soda
5 Cups sugar
1/2 (6 oz) Pkg. Liquid fruit pectin (1 foil pouch)
5-6 Glass half-pint canning jars
Directions:
Using a paring knife, score the peels of the oranges and lemon into 4 sections lengthwise.
Remove the peels; scrape off the white pith.
Cut peels into very thin strips. In a saucepan combine peels, water and baking soda; bring to boiling.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Do not drain.
Meanwhile, section the peeled oranges and lemon over a bowl to catch the juice (discard seeds). Add fruit sections and reserved juice to saucepan; return to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until thick.
In an 8 to 10-quart Dutch oven combine 3 cups of the fruit mixture, plus sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir in pectin; return to boiling. Cook and stir, uncovered, 1 minute. Remove from heat; skim off foam.
Immediately ladle mixture evenly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving a 1/4 inch head-space. Adjust lids. Process in a boiling-water canner 15 minutes. Remove and let cool overnight. (Marmalade may take up to 2 weeks to set.)
Serving Size: about 6 half-pints
