When we’re going frugal with food, simple presentation can make a few cents look like a hundred bucks. My father-in-law taught me this trick for serving organges. It’s fast, looks awesome and is easy to eat too. Here they are paird with Monday’s Grocery Shrink Plus breakfast: Toad in the Hole.
To make it, slide your knife between the flesh and the peeling vertically. Like this:
Then slowly rotate the fruit as you move the knife up and down slightly. When you are done, you should have a nice flat disc of skin left on the bottom but a perfectly peeled fruit on top.
We just pick them up and eat them by biting out the fruit from the sides. Grapefruits work great this way too.
I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this! My kids love grapefruit but I hate serving it to them because it takes so long to cut all those little pieces out. Problem solved!
