Yesterday as I grated orange peel, probably for the last time this season, our house was once again filled with the pungent smell of orange zest. Citrus sales are coming to an end and so are my zesting days. Throughout the winter months we have been eating "bald" oranges. Our joke is that shaved heads are the "in thing" in the world of oranges. All the "shavings" went into zip-lock bags which are tucked away in metal containers (a great use for those Christmas tins) and then put in the freezer. We learned the hard way that orange zest has to be stored tightly, or everything in the freezer will taste peculiarly like an orange. Now I have three tins full of orange zest. Soon it all will find its way into Cran-Orange Whole Wheat Bread... and then into the mouths of customers.
By the way, Cran-Orange Whole Wheat Bread was on the noon menu for my sister and me today. It was a day to use up odds and ends of different breads with chicken salad. Of all the bits of bread we tried for these sandwiches, Cran-Orange rated highest. There's just something about those cranberries with chicken. Mmmm...
