A Christmas Orange

While at the grocery yesterday we spied a display of satsuma oranges. I was taken by the fact that a bit of the stem was attached to each orange and purchased one for photographic (and gastronomic) exploration.

At cookinglight.com we learned that, “Among the sunny-colored citrus fruits that brighten produce aisles during winter, satsumas hit peak season this month. Satsumas are one of the sweetest citrus varieties, with a meltingly tender texture.”
