OH, THE FRAGRANCE AND FLAVOR...

Each morning when I open the door to my backyard, I am greeted by the scent of fragrant orange blossoms. Luckily, my neighbor's tree hangs over my fence, and throughout the winter, is laden with the best oranges I've ever tasted. Now as spring is soon upon us, white flowers sit tucked into the leaves offering a delicate aroma.

There are still lots of oranges hiding deep in the foliage and high on the branches above. Guess it's time to take out the ladder...

Here's a recipe that's ready in a snap.

2 oranges, peeled
