Apple orange cake
The orange is a citrus fruit and is a hybrid of the pomelo and mandarin.
Oranges have been grown since ancient times and originated in Southeast Asia.
As of 2010, Brazil grows one third of all the world’s oranges.
California and Florida are large producers of oranges in the US.
Around 85% of all oranges produced are used for juice.
Marmalade is orange jam.
Oranges have a high amount of vitamin C.
Oranges are domesticated so you are unlikely to find them growing naturally in the wild.
Because oranges do not spoil easily and are full of vitamin C during the years of world exploration sailors planted orange and other citrus trees along trade routes to prevent scurvy which is a disease that develops from a deficiency of vitamin C.
It is believed that Christopher Columbus was the first to bring orange seeds to America during his second voyage to the region in 1493.
There are now over 600 varieties of oranges worldwide.
There are typically ten segments inside an orange.
Ideal conditions for growing oranges are in sub-tropical areas that have good amounts of sunshine yet moderate to warm temperatures (15.5°C - 29°C (60°F - 84 °F).
Orange peel can be used by gardeners to sprinkle over vegetables as a slug repellent.
The white orange blossom, is the state flower of Florida. It is highly fragrant and has long been used in weddings as cake decoration, in bridal bouquets and in head wreaths. The blossom essence is an important component in the making of perfume and the petals can also be made into "orange blossom/flower water".

1 Tbs. vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup canola or other mild-flavored oil (check for freshness before using)

Serves: 6

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Cooking time:12 minutes


2 cups freshly squeezed juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tangerines, peeled, quartered and seeded
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier

6 large egg whites
Orange Strawberry Sauce (recipe follows)

1 quart strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup Grand Marnier 4 tablespoons sugar, plus more if necessary
3 tablespoons tangerine juice

In a medium saucepan, heat juice and 1 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add tangerines, and simmer, covered, until tangerines are very tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing gently to extract most of the juice, reserving both fruit and juice.
In a food processor, combine tangerines and 1/2 cup tangerine juice. Puree until fairly coarse. Add Grand Marnier, and process to combine. The purée should just hold its shape without being sticky; if necessary, work in a little more juice. Transfer the purée to the saucepan.
