Citrus Fruit Segments (Frozen Juice Sacs)

Recipe per citrus fruit.

1. Carefully peel the membrane from the orange or other citrus fruit so as to minimise damage to the juice sacs.
2. Take the sacs from one orange and, in a wire skimmer, drop them into the liquid nitrogen.
3. When they sink to the bottom, they are frozen solid.
4. Scoop them from the nitrogen and place between two sheets of grease-free paper.
5. Roll over gently with a rolling stick to separate all the juice sacs from each other.
6. Place in a big, shallow container and set in the freezer to come to temperature. Because of the extreme cold of the finished product, never serve immediately.

Tip: this technique can also be used with blackberries and raspberries — nice for a raspberry dressing.

Serving suggestions

• As a garnish in a dressing or sauce.
• As a garnish to a dish.
• "Bread" a scoop of sorbet or a quenelle with the frozen sacs just before serving.
