Moro Blood Orange Vinegar
Depending on where you live, and your favorite grocery store, you may not be able to buy Moro blood oranges all year long. They come in season to brighten the winter months with their gorgeous color, luscious fragrance, and sweetness, but you can enjoy it for at least a little longer by making Moro blood orange vinegar.
The end result is vividly fruity, with little of the vinegary taste remaining. You can use it to add a bold splash of taste to a wide variety of different dishes.
• Add to salads alone, or as part of a vinaigrette;
• Glaze a roast chicken or duck, or roast of pork;
• Add it to martinis and other cocktails;
• Splash it on plain baked chicken or fish just before serving;
• Infuse the flavor into chicken, fish, or seafood by using it as a marinade;
• Add a dash to wild rice or barley;
• Drizzle it on a bowl of fresh fruit, plain pound cake, or ice cream.
