Rising C Ranches: Specialty Citrus

I got treats in the mail today!

Last month’s Food and Wine had a great article on specialty citrus fruits from Rising C Ranches, a small farm in Reedley, California. They feature a wide variety of unusual citrus fruits like Buddha’s Hand and Etrog Citrons. Intrigued by these new fruits, I logged on to their website and ordered their farmer’s choice… a box stuffed full of their peak produce. So, imagine my delight when the UPS man showed up at my door with a big box.

Here’s what I found inside:

• Moro Blood Oranges
• Meyer Lemons
• W. Murcotts
• Melogold Pummelo
• Chandler Grapefruit
• Minneolas
• Gold Nuggest
• Heirloom Navels
• Cara Cara Navels

Yum! They all look beautiful. I had better get eating!

Anyone have a favorite Meyer Lemon recipe I should try?
