Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds raspberry oranges / blood oranges (10-12 medium oranges)
- 1 pound Cara-Cara oranges (4-5 medium oranges)
Instructions
- Peel or thoroughly scrub your blood oranges and Cara Cara oranges. Run them through a cold press juicer or slow juicer.
- If you don’t like pulp in your juice, use a mesh strainer to filter out the pulp.
- Your blood orange to Cara Cara orange ratio is going to be 3-to-1. Three parts (24 ounces) blood orange juice to one part Cara Cara orange juice (8 ounces).
- Feel free to play with the ratios to get your perfect blend. Enjoy!
Notes
- Supporting local citrus farmers is our first choice for the freshest ingredients, but we recognize it’s not always possible. If you can, please support local farmers during citrus season, which typically runs November through March.
- Blood oranges and Cara Cara oranges are naturally smaller than navel oranges. Keep this in mind when picking out your oranges. A medium blood orange or Cara Cara orange is going to look more like a large clementine or a small navel orange.
- You can substitute any type of orange you prefer for the Cara Cara oranges. The point is to balance out the tartness of the blood orange with a sweeter variety. My favorite substitutions for Cara-Cara oranges include clementines, which yield a much sweeter juice, and navel oranges which are a little more tart and more acidic than Cara Cara oranges but taste great in this orange juice recipe.
