This recipe is a celebration of nature’s bounty, combining the brightness of winter citrus with the rich crunch of nuts and the sweet drizzle of honey, creating a symphony of tastes and textures that will awaken your senses on a cold, crisp day.

The star of this dish is an assortment of winter citrus fruits, carefully selected for their juiciness and flavor complexity.

The nuts bring a satisfying crunch, while the honey imparts a subtle sweetness that harmonizes with the natural sugars of the fruits.

The assembly of this dish is an art form. Arrange the citrus slices with care, creating a mosaic of colors and flavors on your serving platter. Sprinkle the Nut and Honey Crunch generously over the top, allowing it to cascade down like a golden, crunchy waterfall. This not only adds visual appeal but also ensures that every bite is a harmonious marriage of citrus brightness and nutty richness.

For a final flourish, garnish with fresh mint leaves, adding a touch of herbaceous freshness that complements the citrusy notes and ties the entire dish together. The mint leaves contribute a burst of aroma and a visual contrast, turning your Winter Citrus with Nut and Honey Crunch into a work of culinary art.

Whether you present this dish as a vibrant and refreshing dessert, a striking side for a winter brunch, or a dazzling centerpiece at your seasonal gatherings, it is certain to captivate both the eyes and the palate. With every spoonful, savor the crisp crunch of nuts, the golden sweetness of honey, and the juicy brightness of winter citrus – a triumphant celebration of the season’s bounty.

Ingredients

  • 4 lb. mixed citrus (such as blood oranges, grapefruit, Cara Cara oranges, and tangerines)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup hazlenuts or almonds
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups vanilla whole-milk yogurt

Directions

  1. Zest and juice 1 orange to yield 1 teaspoon zest and 1/4 cup fresh juice. Place zest and juice in a small saucepan; stir in honey, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium. Boil, stirring occasionally, until syrupy, thickened, and foamy on top, about 6 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

  2. While orange syrup cools, line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook nuts, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until sugar is melted and browned and coats nuts, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape the nut mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and quickly spread in an even layer. Let cool completely, about 10 minutes. Break or coarsely chop candied nuts.

  3. Using a paring knife, remove peels and pith from the remaining citrus. Slice citrus crosswise into rounds (about 1/2 inch thick). Spread yogurt evenly on a large serving platter. Top with citrus and candied nuts. Drizzle with orange syrup.
