As you may have noticed, we rarely say no to a delicious dessert. Therefore, it’s nice to have some healthy and delicious desserts you can resort to when the craving occurs. One of our favorites is this Orange Dates Dessert with Honey Glaze.

At our latitudes, now’s the time to enjoy the delicious, juicy oranges that taste so divinely good. They are still both sweet and juicy. But soon, unfortunately, they will become dry and sour. So don’t miss the opportunity to eat as many as you can! 🙂

Nice to know: Oranges are best stored on the kitchen table, avoiding direct sunlight. Storing the oranges in the fridge slows down the modation process, which of course can be good if you have bought many oranges but they will also slowly lose taste.
We think that the best oranges are of course organic, because you can use both juice and zest without problems. We love the ones form Freshland (this is not an advertisement – just a tip 🙂 ), as they stays fresh for a long time and come directly from local farmers – their avocados are also fantastic – just saying. 😉
