During the winter months we think about increasing our intake of vitamin C to boost our immune system. Oranges are a great source of vitamin C. This fruit also contains pectin, which has shown to reduce cholesterol. The flavonoids in oranges may also protect against heart disease, according to research. When choosing oranges, choose fruit that has a firm smooth skin and are heavy for their size.
I love the flavor of fresh oranges in pork and poultry dishes. It makes any meal feel like a special occasion. For a festive dish try this recipe for Orange Glazed Pork Loin from Taste of Home!
Orange Glazed Pork Loin
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 to 3 fresh thyme sprigs or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

- GLAZE:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
