Raw Vegan Mapled Orange and Grapefruit

raw vegan mapled oranges and grapefruit no equipment recipes Ripe orange and grapefruit are delicious all on their own. But once in a while, marinating them in a little maple syrup takes it over the top. This simple and easy raw vegan maple infused orange and grapefruit dish is a version of my mom’s recipe. She used to make us orange and grapefruit segments marinated in honey. My little brother and I both loved them as kids. She would marinate it for at least a few hours to overnight, and the oranges and grapefruit took on this wonderful honey flavor and sweetness. For my raw vegan version, I switched to maple syrup instead of honey, and added some mint leaves for some zesty zing. The results were oh so good! 

Start by segmenting the oranges and grapefruit. I like using different colored varieties, like adding blood oranges and red grapefruit to the mix to make it colorful and vibrant.

Transfer the oranges and grapefruit segments into a glass storage container and pour in the maple syrup. Toss gently to make sure the segments are coated with the syrup. You can serve right away or pop on the lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours to overnight.

Once it’s ready, gently mix in some roughly chopped mint leaves and serve. Garnish with a small sprig of mint leave.
