This time of year can be kind of uninspiring when it comes to produce. It’s not quite the season for asparagus, strawberries and rhubarb, but most of us have eaten all the squash, apples, and cabbage we can handle til next fall. Luckily, we have citrus.
Lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, satsumas, tangelos, blood oranges, kumquats – all such brightly colored and flavored fruits that offer just what we need for these last few weeks of wintry weather.
What does one do with citrus, besides just peel and eat? Here are a few quick and delicious ideas:
Pomegranate Citrus Salsa (don’t have pomegranate? Sub dried cherries or cranberries)
What are your own favorite ways to use winter’s best citrus? We’d love to hear!

March 8, 2012 at 11:12 ami do enjoy eating citrus, but one of my favorite things to do after i eat citrus is to throw the peel down my garbage disposal. it makes everything smell so good! grapefruits are probably my favorite winter citrus though. there’s a stand in pike place market (seattle) that sells grapefruits called “oh my god” grapefruits. they’ve also been labeled “better than_ _ _” grapefruits. and they are quite amazing all on their own!
