You can also use tangy Temple oranges to make some killer cocktails and punches to impress your guests. Your dinner guests will love coming to your dinner parties when you use seasonal fruit like Temple oranges to create beautiful high end food.

Cooking with seasonal and local ingredients has become one of the hottest trends in gourmet cooking. There are many restaurants now that are taking advantage of this trend and advertising that all their dishes are seasonal and made from locally sourced ingredients. Many home gourmet chefs are also pouncing on this trend to create seasonal menus for dinner parties or gourmet cook offs. Gourmet challenge cook offs mimic popular cooking shows where all the guests are given one or two specialty ingredients and they need to create four or five dishes using that ingredient. The other guests taste all the dishes and crown a winner based on who used the ingredients the best and used the most local and seasonal food. Adding seasonal Temple oranges to your dishes can be a fun way to challenge your gourmet loving friends and get them to cook more inspired meals.

Getting Temple oranges for your gourmet parties, drinks, cook offs or just as snacks is easy. You can order fruit baskets of Temple oranges and other seasonal fruits that you can use to dress up your dinner table or you can order boxes of Temple oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruits that you can keep in the pantry or at the bar so they are always close at hand. When you order seasonal fruit like Temple oranges directly from the grower you are getting only the freshest and most delicious fruit that is shipped directly to you straight from the citrus grove so you can be assured your fruit is of the highest quality.
