Blood Orange Upside Down Cake

Recently,
while grocery shopping,
in the produce department,
I saw a huge white sign.
Written in big, red-orange letters,
were the words:
BLOOD ORANGES...Get them before they're Gone!
Well, I marched right over to the big cardboard bin and
I picked up two, 5 lb bags of blood oranges..
...before they were all gone...
I also picked up five, 16 oz bags of cranberries, for $.99 a bag...
...before they were gone too...

Once I got home and unpacked my groceries,
I said to myself,...Lynn....
"What in the heck are you going to do with all of these oranges!"
"I mean, you can only eat just so many oranges, right?"
So I decided to put on my thinking cap and I thought and thought.
Finally, a light bulb went on in my head....
"I'm going to make a Blood Orange Upside Down Cake"
I said out loud to myself.

I am so glad I decided to make this delicious,
Blood Orange Upside Down Cake.

The cake was light and fluffy, the oranges were nice and sweet and
the dark brown sugar/butter topping had a nice caramel, buttery taste.
I was super surprised at how tender and sweet the blood orange rind became...
It was very similar to 'candied' orange rind...
sweet, tender and bursting with a freshening, citrus flavor.
Perfect on a cold, blistery, winter's' day. ❆
