Citrus: Five Six and Seven!

Finally I have the conclusion for the citrus season! 
Trains, Planes and Automobiles!
...Or, Key Limes, Blood Oranges and Tangerines!


Blood Oranges are Really tasty! They aren't as acidic as other citruses, so this is why they are so often used in sauces and fancy cocktails. Sweet and colorful! YUM!



 Also Tangerines!

mmmm, these little guys are tough to get, the majority of little oranges are mandarins. These do have seeds, but taste just like that McDonalds Orange stuff you used to drink at track meets as a kid. *this was probably Tang*

Very Good!



Also seen in the first picture are key limes and tangellos. Key Limes are usually used in pies.... I tried to make jelly out of these as well. Unfortunately the skins are very bitter unlike the sweet juice, and i was not impressed. Tangellos are also delicious but very sour and acidic. A very "sharp" orange taste!

I hope that this wraps things up!
