Orange food and drink ideas
- For orange fruit salad, chop up a selection of orange fruit and mix in a bowl with a bit of fruit juice to prevent browning. Orange fruits include oranges, apricots, nectarines, peaches, and persimmons.
- Orange jelly: buy a packet of jelly crystals, or for a fruitier version use orange juice and unflavoured gelatin — the packet usually has instructions.
- Pumpkin soup can be bought in the supermarket or made from scratch. For pumpkin pasta – mashed pumpkin with a bit of nutmeg and cream on pasta. Add sun-dried tomatos, basil, or whatever you like.
- Orange birthday cake – try our butter cake recipe with orange icing — delicious and orange. Carrot cake is also a good option – you can make a super healthy one with oil rather than butter.
- Orange drinks include orange juice and juice blends. Make orange ice cubes with orange juice or cordial or by adding a small amount of food colouring to water before putting in ice cube trays and freezing. Herbal teas, fruit teas and tisanes come in a wide range of colours and can be served hot or as an iced tea.
- Orange alcoholic drinks include cocktails and spirits that include orange juice like vodka and orange. Angostura bitters give lemon lime and bitters an orange colour.
