Grandpa Has Been Showing Up in the Oranges Ive heard from a few folks whove read Paradise that they have tried my grandfathers way of peeling an orange. Its nice to hear that hes been showing up in the oranges. If you dont have the book, the instructions are repeated below and you can catch a glimpse in the video, too: Grandpa showed me how to peel an orange. Hold the fruit in one hand and the pocketknife in the other. First, score a circle in the rind around the navel below and the stem on top. Draw the blade down the sides in vertical strokes all around the whole, no deeper than the skin, an inch between each cut. Be careful. Go slow. Do not harm the flesh.Lift off the top and bottom pieces. Pull each section of rind away from the fruit. It will come easily, and with it, the pith. Wedge your thumb into the center and splay the fruit wide open. There will be ten or so segments—enough to share. Using the knife, lift each piece apart, balanced on the edge of the blade. Offer the first taste to someone close by, then take one for yourself. —Paradise in Plain Sight youtube/watch?v=SLsE1qGNkU8
