Fresh squeezed

I bought a bag of Cara Cara oranges at Costco last weekend, thinking some natural Vitamin C would be a good thing during our gloomy winter. But neither of us cared much for the flavor, and they were a bit mushy. So I decided to juice them instead.

I do it the old-fashioned way, using a glass juicer from the 1960s. And this small Polish pottery pitcher is the perfect size for juice for two. The orange husks will go into the freezer; my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe uses orange zest, plus orange juice instead of vanilla. Yum!

Isn't the juice a beautiful color?
