Moro Blood Oranges... The "Blood" orange is one of the most colorful varieties in the world of Specialty Citrus products. They are the earliest ripening and darkest of the blood oranges. The fruit is generally smaller than an average orange. The outer rind of the blood orange is usually somewhat pitted in texture. Bloods are also one of the most "under used" pieces of fruit in the world of citrus. Try using blood oranges in a "Sangria" drink. Use both some of the juice from the bloods and cut them into thin slices (along with slices of lime) to "float" along the top of the Sangria bowl as a colorful and spectacular garnish. You could also replace regular orange juice for Blood Orange juice in an orange cake recipe and use slices of the blood orange to decorate the top, for a bold and exciting twist! If you can dream up a recipe with oranges and orange juice, why not add some "drama" to the mix and see what you can create. Besides, when cooking from the heart with blood oranges, there is never the risk of your efforts ever being...in "vein"!
Did you know...? The blood orange is often (and incorrectly) described as a hybrid between a pomelo and a tangerine or other citrus, but it is merely just a genetic mutation of a sweet orange. The distinctive dark flesh color of blood oranges are due to the presence of the pigment anthocyanin, this pigment is common to many fruit and flower varieties, but uncommon in citrus, however obviously not to blood oranges.
When are Moro Bloods available? Bloods have a rather short harvesting season. They are typically available from January thru April. Due to the small availability and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season.

It's just a coincidence that the NYT posted a Melissa Clark recipe for "Upside-Down Blood Orange Cake" right as I was thinking about ordering some ... you can guess correctly that when they arrived, it was one of the uses they were put to. And it was delicious! They arrive lovely and tasty; go for it!
Hi Paul, Thank you once again for your incredible support for Pearson Ranch!! We are so happy that you enjoyed the Moro Blood Oranges. As far as an Upside-Down Blood Orange Cake... wow, does that ever sound delicious! We will have to try that sometime.

Thank you for the 5 stars for the Moro Blood Oranges! We are so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you so much for your business.
Well I sent them to my son and granddaughter so I actually never saw them or experienced them. However, my son reported that they were terrific and much better than even quality oranges bought locally. I will soon reorder for them.
Neil
Greetings Neil, thank you so much for your review of the Moro Blood Oranges! We are so happy that your son and granddaughter were able to enjoy them. Thank you so much for trusting Pearson Ranch for sending out a gift to your family. That means a lot to us. We truly appreciate your business and the review!
The Moro Blood Oranges are like a ray of sunshine in the middle of a snow and ice storm! They are so flavorful compared to store bought oranges. I’ve been buying these for the last few years and I’m always so excited to receive my delivery and we manage to go through them so quickly—blood orange margaritas, on toasted baguette rounds spread with sweetened ricotta and drizzled with honey, in salads. Hope to visit Pearson’s Ranch one of these days and thank them in person.
Howdy Francesca, WOW... thank you for awesome review and great pic of the bloods on the toasted baguette with the ricotta and honey! It sounds and looks devine. And blood orange margaritas?...yes please! Thank you so much for your business and your wonderful feedback!!
