I haven't seen a Blood orange since we moved from Houston 23 years ago.
They do make a beautiful marmalade. Good luck Susan.

I will go see tomorrow if the curb market has them or is planning to
get them or I can remind them. I just found 8 Meyer lemons in the
freezer. I'm thinking lemon pie. Maybe I should check the freezer a
little closer. We are working on getting it emptied out or at least
getting the older stuff out. It at least closes without a fight now
and I have washed a bunch of FoodSaver bags.

I see blood oranges occasionally but I thought A&Ps had disappeared eons
ago. We're running low on apricot jam. I hope we get a crop this
year. We haven't had any in 2 years (late frosts or snow kill
the blossoms or small fruit.)

This weekend the local market (Chicago burbs) had blood oranges, sweet
lemons (not sure exactly what those are like) and a couple of other
varieties of citrus that I have never or rarely seen.

I found the Blood oranges at the local Food Lion. The curb market
owner said they had them in December and part of January. I will
finish up the Temple marmalade today and if it is good I will use the
same recipe for the Bloods.

Next year I will have to pick up the Blood oranges at the curb market
in December and put them in the freezer until the Temples come in.
