Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the oranges under cool running water to remove any surface dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges, removing both the outer skin and the white pith to expose the bright orange segments.
- Separate the orange segments gently, ensuring they remain intact and free from any remaining membrane.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange segments with dried cranberries, creating a vibrant fruit base.
- Measure out 1/4 cup of raw honey, preferably local and organic, to enhance nutritional benefits.
- Drizzle the honey over the orange and cranberry mixture, gently tossing to ensure even coating and maximum flavor absorption.
- Roughly chop the mixed nuts into smaller pieces to provide texture and additional nutritional value.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the honey-coated fruit, mixing carefully to distribute evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and honey to slightly set.
- Serve chilled in small serving bowls or as a portable snack in sealed containers.
Tips
- Choose Organic Ingredients: Opt for local, organic oranges and raw honey to maximize nutritional benefits and ensure the purest flavor profile.
- Honey Selection Matters: Use raw, unprocessed honey for maximum immune-boosting properties and natural enzymes.
- Nut Preparation: Lightly toast the mixed nuts before chopping to enhance their flavor and release additional nutrients.
- Refrigeration Technique: The 15-20 minute chilling time is crucial – it allows flavors to meld and creates a slightly firmer texture.
- Storage Hack: These snacks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Customize Your Mix: Feel free to experiment with different nuts or dried fruits to keep the recipe exciting and personalized.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra health boost, serve over Greek yogurt or as a topping for overnight oats.
