SC - Blood Oranges

[Paul and Jillian Louis]

I remember a bit of information about blood oranges from my teaching days,
unfortunately I do not have the sources from whence I picked this up,
Blood oranges were found by the crusaders on the island of Malta.  Hence the
name of the Hollandaise variante that uses their juice " Sauce Maltaise"
They have a dark red interior when they are ripe. if they are harvested to
imature , the juice is bitter. when allowed to ripen on the tree their juice
is sweeter than your average navel orange.
If you wish to work in with blood orange juice in large quantities there is
a good product on the market from Assoline and Ting.
hope this helps,
Olga
