Blood Orange Caramel Tarte Tatin

  Desserts

I never had blood oranges until I moved to California. The orange’s growing season is pretty short, so I use them in everything I possibly can. Whenever I have something to go to, my friends demand that I bring this dessert. The sweet orange flavor pairs perfectly with brown sugar and looks so lovely.
