Cooking techniques

Segmenting a citrus

1. Using a sharp knife, cut the top and bottom off (see right hand side of the photo). Then, cut under the skin in a curved motion to follow the shape of the fruit.

 2. Remove the pith

 3. Holding the fruit in one hand, make an incision along the segment and its skin to the middle of the fruit.

 4. Then do the same with the other side

 5. The first segment should now be easy to remove.

 6. Repeat with all the segments until you are left with the middle and segment skin. Squeeze it to remove the juice.

You are now left with beautiful segments, ready to use ;-)
