Blood Orange Chocolate Tart

I think I've established that I go pretty hard with blood oranges once Winter hits, but one obvious ingredient I've never paired them with is chocolate. Think of all the legendary chocolate pairings: Terry's Chocolate Oranges. Chocolate Orange Shortbread. Chocolate dipped clementines. You get the picture, so why not blood orange?? This tart is super straightforward … Continue reading Blood Orange Chocolate Tart

They're … Continue reading Blood Orange Millecrepe

Not only are they … Continue reading Blood Orange Upside Down Cake

It's unfortunate as it was a great location, but the silver lining is that they're having a 40% off everything closing sale and I got a donut pan for $10. You gotta look for the silver lining! This was my first foray into donuts and I'd … Continue reading Blood Orange Donuts

Blood Orange Custard Pie

Pies get a bit interesting in winter. Without berries, rhubarb and stone fruit, apples are really all you can use for a classic fruit pie. This is where custard comes in. On this beautiful sunny day, I got a haul of amazing blood oranges from St. Lawrence and went to town on a blood … Continue reading Blood Orange Custard Pie
