Tangor Delivery or Pickup

No fruit is as tangy as the tangor. This citrus fruit got its tantalizing name by combining the "tang" of tangerine and the "or" of "orange," but it is also known as the temple orange. This tasty hybrid is said to have been first cultivated by combining a sweet orange with a mandarin orange in the late 1800s in Jamaica. The tangor was then brought over to Florida, where it propagated with great success. As hardy as oranges but smaller in size, tangors have adapted well to areas of Florida where sweet oranges also tend to grow. 

Tangors actually grow naturally without any interference from breeders. Its thick, bright orange rind is easy to peel, making it a great treat for when you're on the go. When you bite into a tangor, you'll taste sweet and tangy juices. These fruits are excellent to eat on their own, but you can use them to create delectable dishes whenever you host your next dinner party.

When shopping for a tangor, you'll want to keep an eye out for some specific aspects. When you inspect a tangor, make sure that there are no soft spots on the skin. A perfectly ripe tangor should be firm and have smooth skin. When you order through the Instacart app, your Instacart shopper will select fresh tangors to be delivered to your door in as little as 2 hours!

If you are keen to serve up elegant appetizers, you can't go wrong by presenting a tangor shrimp Ceviche to your guests. This traditional South American dish is served with raw seafood. When tossed into an acidic marinade made with citrus juice. This juice actually "cooks" the fish, but of course, you can always use shrimp that's been cooked, especially if you are on a tight schedule. This helps bring the whole dish together much faster.

You can also use tangor to create a perfect fruit salad for casual events like a backyard barbeque or even more formal events. You can make an added sauce that will really highlight the fruity flavors too. In a saucepan, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, and brown sugar. After the concoction has heated, lower the temperature, and let it all simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, when it can be taken off the heat.

As your sauce cools down, you'll need a clear, large glass to put your fruit in. When preparing your salad, use fruits like strawberries, kiwi, bananas, pineapple, blueberries, and grapes in addition to your tangors. After the sauce has cooled, pour it all over the fruit, and then refrigerate the salad for a few hours before you present it. The longer the juice has to soak in the juices of the fruits and the sauce you've made, the tastier it will be.

A dinner party is never complete without a delicious salad. A fresh wintergreen and citrus salad is a sophisticated dish. Make your own vinegarette for this salad by mixing lemon juice, rice vinegar, olive oil, orange juice, and honey along with some seasonings like salt, garlic thyme, and pepper until it's all smooth. Next, add some greens like endives, kale, or spinach. Add the vinegarette you've made and toss the salad to sufficiently cover it. Peel your tangors and take the individual slices and place them on top of the salad along with basil, onion, currant, and cheese.

Transfer mixture to a large platter.
