SC - Request: Recipe for whole pig?

[kat]

Thanks, Bear!

>>According to ye olde quick ref, oranges originate in China and were
transplanted into India from there, then from India into the Middle East.
Seville oranges (Citrus aurantium) were introduced into Spain by the Moors and
from there into Europe.

The Portuguese introduced a variety of sweet oranges from Japan about 1529. I
suspect, but do not know, that these were C. reticulata, which include the
mandarine orange, the tangerine and the Satsuma varieties.

C. sinensis, which are sweeter still and include Navel and Valencia oranges,
were introduced to Europe about 1635.

Given those points, your Valencias may actually be Sevilles.<<

I never thought of that! I'm sure the oranges in question were meant to be
sweet, but in almost thirty years we've never gotten an edible fruit off that
tree. They do make good marmalade, tho.
