Sour Oranges and Chili Sauce

  Sour oranges trees grow all over the Phoenix metro area and I have never seen people do anything with the sour oranges except throw them away. Although I have heard that you can make orange marmalade out of sour oranges.

Clay Thompson wrote an article in the Arizona Republic saying that sour oranges and chili sauce are a real treat for Mexicans. I guess you peal the sour orange and as you eat it you pour Cholula Hot Sauce over it. Sounds good to me.

I talked to a woman who works at Circle K who I have observed eating lemons and limes. She said she also eats sour oranges. She said they are a little more sour then a regular orange, but not anywhere near as sour as a lemon or lime.

So the next time I see a sour orange tree I am going to grab a few sour oranges and take them home and cover them with Cholula Hot Sauce and then eat them for a treat!
