Btw, you notice the orange I used was rather darker in color. I used cara cara oranges from US, easily found nowadays in supermarkets. This is the first time I tried this kind of oranges, and I was amazed at the first cut to find the flesh was rather reddish, very similar to grapefruit, darker in color, in fact

I googled for some info about this orange and true enough, cara cara orange is a red flesh orange. Taste wise, it's really juicy and sweet. Give it a try while it's still in season :)
