So this past weekend was our turn to bring oranges to my sons football game. However,t eh buys have decided they no longer what the oranges! Now i have a whole lot of cut up oranges that we dont really like to eat plain!

I want to use them up - so as of now i have orange marmalade to make.... but looking for other idea's.

Anyone have suggestions?

    send them to me! hahaha I love plain oranges... I agree with the others, oranges aren't exactly the type of fruit you can mix with other stuff.

    I always put oranges in my fruit salad... also a tropical smoothie would be good... just peel and remove all the segmenty stuff... and freeze for putting in smoothie... I put oranges in my cranberry sauce... sweet/sour soup I sometimes put oranges if I have them...

    Juggle .... :laugh:

    oh whoops just noticed they are cut up so that could be really tricky - juggling that is!

    Could you freeze them and then have them as treats?

    Marmalade is good, but then you need lots of sugar.

    Take them to work and share them or to school for a treat. Share.

    Take off the skin and thinly slice the orange flesh to go in a salad with baby spinach/rocket, red capsicum, walnuts and feta.
    Make a dressing with some orange juice, olive oil, dijon mustard and maybe a dash of white wine vinegar.

    1. you can make a citrus sauce to have with chicken or turkey
    Or
    2. thinly slice oranges and red onion and cut up some mango put on a bed of baby spinach, sprinkle chopped coriander over it, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar
    if mango is out of season use well drained tinned mango tho not as nice as fresh.
