How to Make Almond Sunshine Citrus
- Zest oranges, grapefruit, lemon, and lime to obtain 1 tablespoon of mixed citrus zest. Set aside.
- Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each citrus fruit.
- Place each fruit cut-side down and use a sharp knife to remove the peel and white pith.
- Over a bowl, carefully separate each citrus fruit segment from the membranes.
- Place the segmented citrus fruit in a glass bowl.
- Set aside 1/2 cup of fresh citrus juice.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the reserved citrus zest, and the reserved 1/2 cup citrus juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
- Pour the cooled citrus syrup over the segmented citrus fruit.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
