Incredibly sweet and refreshing this brightly colored dish is ready in under 25 minutes. Winter citrus combined with the warming spices ginger, allspice, and clove, come together beautifully and so alive with flavor. Serve as an appetizer, alongside fish or chicken, or as a topping for lemon sorbet. Meyer lemon is particularly wonderful because it is a sweeter lemon without a super-tart finish. If you are using a regular lemon, cut back on the amount to keep the highest notes of tang out of the dish. Try different orange varieties such as Cara Cara or Tangelos to see the impact of their differing notes of sweetness. Make a bit extra and serve with your morning yogurt or granola for a sunny start to the day.
