Orange Recipes

Oranges bring bright citrus flavor, natural sweetness, and gentle acidity to recipes. The juice is great for marinades, dressings, glazes, sauces, cocktails, and baked goods, while the zest adds concentrated orange aroma without extra liquid.

Use fresh orange segments in salads, desserts, grain bowls, and salsas, or cook the juice down into a syrupy glaze for chicken, pork, salmon, carrots, or roasted vegetables. Orange also balances rich ingredients like butter, cream, nuts, chocolate, and olive oil.

For the best flavor, zest the orange before juicing, and avoid the bitter white pith. A little zest can make cakes, cookies, vinaigrettes, and pan sauces taste fresher and more aromatic.
