Show Citrus All Day Long That's not a bad idea, this tune of year, for oranges and grapefruit are good toners and help build up resistance to the colds and respiratory respira-tory ills that are sweeping the country. Fortunately, this is the season when Florida's fresh fruit is in abundance, and most economically priced, in your local markets. You'll find frequent specials on this vitamin C-rich food. For sectioning, choose heavy thin-skinned grapefruit (either pink or white-fleshed) and the Temple oranges, the variety similar to tangerines when it comes to easy peeling. Remove the peel, just as you'd pare an apple, and over a bowl (you'll want to save the juice) cut away all the outer white membrane. Then lift each section out, cutting away from the dividing membranes at each side. The mixed fruit has endless uses. Plain fruit cups are good menu items for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The sections can be used in salads, or to garnish meat or fish dishes. And however they're used, they lend refreshment and nutrition to a meal. |
