SEGMENT THE ORANGES:
- Place 2 large oranges on a cutting board and trim the ends exposing the inner segments. Use a sharp paring knife to cut away the peel and pith of the orange, from top to bottom, removing the membrane and exposing the flesh.
- Cut between each segment on either side of the membrane to free the orange segment.
- Continue in this manner until you've segmented the oranges. Pick out any seeds and discard them. Transfer the orange segments to the bowl.
