Last Thursday I had the extraordinary and somewhat life changing (oh yes, I like to be dramatic) privilege of visiting the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection. I didn’t realize it until arriving but this was the first time the collection had been open for this type of viewing in at least 20 years, if not [...]

Bergamot Iced Tea
January 31st, 2012 · No Comments · Citrus, recipe
I write this post with great relief as I have been fiddling with these bergamots since last week and haven’t been able to come up with anything that I would even remotely be willing to tell you about. Until now.
I tried a cookie, a truffle, another scone and some white chocolate bergamot bark — all [...]
Name that citrus!
January 30th, 2012 · 4 Comments · Citrus
How is it possible that January is almost over? I haven’t even failed at my resolutions yet. Something must be wrong. Maybe it is the 80 degree January weather. I know I live in San Diego and all, but really?!? The trees in my front yard are so confused that they are blooming wildly, which [...]

Bergamot Orange
January 20th, 2012 · No Comments · Citrus, orange
I finally got my hands on a bergamot orange this week and I have been scheming about what I’m going to do with the luscious rind. Heidi from 101 Cookbooks just happened to post a recipe for gorgeous citrus salts a few days ago, which are a definite possibility. But I am thinking I want [...]
Mango Orange | Vaniglia Sanguigno
January 10th, 2012 · No Comments · Citrus, Mango, orange
I realized this weekend that I do not have even one mango reviewed on this website. I was truly puzzled by this discovery because I would list the mango as one of my very favorite fruit of all time. It was the first “exotic” fruit introduced to me by my grandmother when I was five [...]
Yuzu
December 9th, 2011 · No Comments · Citrus, cocktail
The Yuzu has been the darling of the high end culinary world for quite some time, so I’m not exactly sure why one hasn’t crossed my path before now. What I am sure of, is that I regret it. I should have gotten my hands on these years ago. For one thing, I’m working on [...]
Sky Valley Heirloom Navel Orange
March 24th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Citrus, orange
If you think I haven’t been posting enough lately and that I have lost my love of fruit (you are wrong) and…this is the fruit for you!
As I mentioned when I talked about the ever-so-lovely Shasta Tangerine, March fruit just isn’t inspiring me. So please don’t dismay, I haven’t abandoned the blog, but it is [...]
Shasta Tangerine
March 11th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Citrus, Tangerine, mandarin
If you think getting through winter is like tromping through the Sahara Desert with no food or water, then this is the fruit for you!
It is March – just about the saddest month for fruit EVER. I am completely bored of citrus and the spring berries aren’t quite ready. By summer I will be swimming in [...]
10 Ways to Cook With a Lime
February 15th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Citrus, Lime, Maven, recipe
In my world, where I am regularly tasting fruit I’ve never seen before and may or may not know how to pronounce (I’m talking to you Carambola and Rambutan), sometimes I can get bored with the simple pleasures that are easy to access. Limes are one of those basic fruits that I tend to take [...]

If you are the kind of person who ends an insult war with “bounces off me and sticks to you…”, then this is the fruit for you!
Don’t miss a morsel!
