I've also just written my own post on the fabulous blood orange, which has a limited run here in France, as it is imported from Italy and Spain. What an interesting conversation to stumble into--one that stretches across three years! It's my understanding that moro-type blood oranges are grown in Texas and CA, but don't work in Florida, as the climate is wrong--the anthocyanin doesn't develop properly. They also sometimes have problems with that in California. I found an amazing, easy pork marinade that is really worth a try (so good I'm now thinking it is worth trying the rest of the year with conventional oranges...): http://recipe.aol.com/recipe/tenderloin-of-pork-with-blood-oranges-and-dark-rum/115367. Flush with this success, I also made a blood orange jelly with Grand Marnier whipped cream, then a tart filled with blood orange curd...The only thing I haven't made and am still hoping to before they disappear is a sorbet...which I will save for when it is actually spring around here. happy blogging... <strong><em>Sounds great, Tammy!

Hi Michelle,

Very nice site! I’ve also just written my own post on the fabulous blood orange, which has a limited run here in France, as it is imported from Italy and Spain.

Here in Texas it is hard to get fruits, but we managed to find a nursery that stocks the trees. Now the proud owner of two blood orange trees, three blood oranges (well, two after my snack). I may have to sacrifice a future orange or two for a glaze on a sherry cake.... <strong><em>Ooh enjoy your blood oranges, Shay!</em></strong> Stumbled across your site looking for more info about blood oranges.

I live in Florida and I see that the tree cannot be shipped to Florida. (Aargh!!) Do you happen to know if the trees are distributed here at all? (I figured that you probably did not have this info but I had to ask, just in case.) Thank you so much. <strong><em>Nicole, I wish I knew more to tell you, but I really don't.
