How to Supreme a Citrus Fruit

How to Supreme a Citrus Fruit



My honey (Jen) taught me this week how to supreme citrus.
Supreming is removing the membrane from the citrus and keeping the fruit sections intact.
So pretty for salads and dishes you make using citrus.

If I can do it, so can you!
So much more simple than you think it is.


Start by cutting each end of the fruit.
We are using an orange as the model of choice, hehe..
We remove about 1/2 an inch from each end, so you can see a good size amount of citrus at the end.



Now, using your knife, start cutting the peel away, small piece at a time.
Try not to remove too much of the fruit in the process.



Once you have the peel and pith removed, you should have a beautiful, colorful orange like this:



Hold the fruit firmly in your hand, and very carefully with a serated knife, 
cut right along the membrane of each section, as close as you can...



You should have a citrus section like this in each.



Once finished with the fruit, if you need fresh orange juice give the leftovers some good squeezes.
It will still give you some fresh juice!

And there you have it, as simple as that.
You have just supremed a citrus.  It gets easier with practice.
I'm learning along with you as these pictures are my second attempt.
We got this everyone!
A big thank you to the love of my life for teaching me yet another wonderful technique.
PS - I scored me a snack demonstrating this, YUM!
