Blood Orange Marmalade

These wonderful oranges, blood oranges, with red spots on the skin and red flesh, made marmalade and is one of the most beautiful in the red scarlet color, and perhaps the most delicious.
Since childhood I was magnetized and impressed by their blood-red flesh! In the grand orangery of the grandfather, there were almost all sorts of citrus -and various varieties for some of them- from citrus (κίτρα) for their essential oil, which exported to Marseilles, lemons & lime to oranges, mandarins & blood oranges. Everyone with different tastes and sweetness but so beneficial to our body. Since then I have loved these fruits and it was the season, though very young, I ate lemon cut at 4 and sprinkled with salt. From this magical world of our orange tree a part of it has come to my property, thanks to the generosity of the people who so fought with their land.
Eternally grateful!

Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake

There are cakes that can be made without the need for a food processor or mixer. This cake is one of them. The whole process is done in a bowl and just stirring its ingredients, so without time-consuming preparations and without many tools. The result is a very fluffy, moist and beautiful cake that is not easily crumbled.
The recipe inspired by extra virgin olive oil, this year for the first time, gave us our new, small olives of organic farming.
The Sanguines (Blood Oranges) were used for their many beneficial properties but also for their color, that of ruby. Whole Sanguines, peeled and finely chopped, which left on the sliced slices of ruby & orange dots. It is an excellent cake in which the caramelized slices of oranges dominate with their presence and make it special, unique, festive.
Yours!
