1. Blood Orange Lemon Bars: I love blood oranges, their gorgeous, purple-red flesh and sweet-tart flavor. And I love lemon bars. So this combines two of my favorite things. These look luscious!
2. Meyer Lemon Roast Chicken: Meyer lemons are sweeter than regular lemons. Even if you can’t find Meyer lemons, I think this roast chicken recipe would be fantastic with regular lemons.
3. Gremolata: This is an Italian condiment made from chopped herbs, garlic, and lemon peel. You can sprinkle it on anything — salads, roasts, even toast would be good.
4. Key Lime Meltaways: Key limes are a special kind of limes that are smaller and, you guess it, a bit sweeter than the usual. You already know about key lime pie. But check out these lime-kissed cookies.
5. Thai Pomelo Salad: A pomelo is similar to a grapefruit, but larger. This Thai salad looks flavorful and refreshing.
6. Broiled Grapefruit: Speaking of grapefruit, it’s delicious on its own. But when you broil it, the sugars caramelize into yummmm. Give it a try for brunch this weekend.
7. Orange Sugar: Mix some orange zest and sugar to sweeten your tea.
8. Jasmine-Tea Tangerineade: How is that New Year’s resolution to drink more green tea going? Better than mine, I hope. This is a fun, barely tart twist that’s refreshing any time of the year.
