Citrus Recipes You Will Love!
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad it is citrus season?
But seriously, I am obsessed with citrus this year and can’t get enough of the sweet and tangy goodness they provide. I had to open with this knock-knock because my six year old, Adelaide, is obsessed with telling jokes like this lately, so they are on the mind.
I grew up with an orange tree hanging over our hot tub and my family and I loved to just sit in there and eat oranges until we couldn’t anymore. Fresh picked oranges are the absolute best and having a tree in my yard growing up turned me into a citrus snob… I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that most of the time I can’t handle grocery store citrus; it has to be freshly picked off a friend’s tree or from a good vendor at the farmer’s market. A booth at my local market has seriously the best ever citrus, cara cara, paige tangerines, blood oranges, etc. I usually eat them plain before they even make it into a recipe, but if I buy enough I’m capable of saving some to use in a great recipe. Below are twenty delicious citrus recipes for inspiration this citrus season and I will be featuring individual citrus variety round-ups as well in the coming weeks including kumquat, blood oranges, lime, grapefruit, a part two of my previous lemon round-up, and more. Stay tuned!

ALL OF THESE look amazing, but the citrus cake with the mint leaves? That is the prettiest cake I’ve ever seen. I’m saving this post. I want to make the upside down cakes, and the pretty cake. Ok, just all of them.
I’m a sucker for pretty cakes too. Have fun baking 🙂
I can’t find the link for the citrus cake with the mint leaves. Or the tart next to it. Where are those recipes?
Hi Joy, my apologies… both of those recipes have been taken down off of the web since I posted this round-up and are broken links which is why you can no longer find them in the post.
