Oranges, Oranges

Now is the time in Greece when oranges are at their very best. In my view the very best variety is a navel orange they call "Merlin."
It is so tasty and sweet unlike anything you buy in the UK
You find them piled up in the market, unwaxed ,of course having arrived straight from the producers. This is the time to indulge in freshly squeezed orange juice at every opportunity.
Make marmalade ,use them in salads and bake with them. Of course the Greeks love them the very best way, to round off a good meal, peeled and eaten at the table.
