Raise your hand if you are ready for some bright color by now. The winter white snow is pretty, but enough already. The blood orange is the season's prettiest fruit. Now until April is peak time for these jewels. Eat them fresh or add them to salads, sauces, seafood or desserts. Here are 14 recipes that feature blood oranges as the
star of the story.
Sparkling Blood Orange Margarita
What better way to use this beautiful fruit than in a cocktail? Ms. Shop This and I did this once, and we couldn't get enough! The ingredient list features zero sugar or agave, so we could also call this a "skinny girl" margarita. Use your fave sparkling wine or champagne.
Blood Orange Buttermilk Pound Cake
Here's a recipe that really uses the entire blood orange - both the zest and juice of two of them. The glaze is simple and made of blood orange juice and powdered sugar. "Mr. Shop This" will certainly love it!
Orange Avocado Salad Recipe with Zesty Dressing
This recipe had me at that "zesty" dressing! The Cilantro lime dressing would taste good on so many things. This is an easy must make.
Winter Citrus Butter Salmon
Two words from the author about her salmon. "It's freaking fantastic!" After broiling it, you finish the dish with a winter citrus salsa. Perfection!

Blood Orange and Beet Buddha Bowl
What a beautiful bowl! The grilled "white" ingredient is halloumi cheese , which I have never tried. I will now. If this cheese is new to you, it's described as "if fresh pulled mozzarella and feta made a baby, it would make halloumi." Sold!
If you are a fan of sticky sweet ribs, this recipe is for you. These ribs are baked low and slow, but you could grill them, too. They are served with the best looking avocado salad, too. Recipe included!
Crème Brûlée with Caramelized Blood Oranges
This is one truly impressive dessert! A thick serving of vanilla custard is topped with crackling brown sugar and caramel coated slices of blood oranges. How good does that sound to you, Mollie?
Blood Orange Honey Ginger Glazed Pork Tacos
This delicious dish begins with pork tenderloin, which I know makes a terrific taco. It becomes spectacular with the addition of honey, blood orange juice, soy sauce and more!

Blood Orange Donuts
A pink donut is hard to resist. This pink is all natural in color, and the donuts are baked, not fried. Does that mean we can call them healthy? I think yes.
Blood Orange Roast Chicken
I can only imagine how this chicken smells as it is cooking! I mean rosemary, blood orange, lemons, and garlic combined together is heavenly. This dish deserves center stage on the table.
What a chic cocktail. The garnishing is everything!
We have scallops maybe once a week. And I know that I have pistachios in the pantry. This dish will be made very soon in my kitchen. Looks great!
Blood Orange Sweet Rolls
Well, this recipe gets my vote for most appealing! The recipe somes with refined sugar free and vegan friendly. Any way you make them, they
look delicious.
Wife Mama Foodie
I make ice cream twice a month, but I have not tried sorbet. This recipe is so easy, any of us could do it. Though it calls for an ice cream maker, you don't need one. See the recipe at....
