A Sweet Idea For Those Glazed Nuts
Blood oranges are in most supermarkets this time of year, showing off their blushed exteriors, beckoning us, daring us, to buy them to see if they’re as deeply hued inside as they suggest. Most times, I pass these slightly smaller, rosier oranges by- they’re a little pricier than their cousins and a bit more tart as well- but as I was perusing the aisles last night, I couldn’t help but think of buying just one to slice up and layer in a trifle with some lady fingers, whipped cream, and some of those crushed glazed mixed nuts I showed off in my last post. So here is just a little snack for your eyes on this cloudy, cold afternoon. A little bit of color to brighten your day. Hopefully this dessert will inspire you, with its balance of tartness, sweetness, spiciness, and of course, lusciousness, to try some of those lesser known fruits in your supermarket. No recipe today, just a suggestions of trifle components: whipped cream (sweetened or flavored with fruit juice), cake, lady fingers or even muffin slices, fruit slices, and a little something for crunch, like those delectable mixed nuts. Enjoy : )
