Notes
- Frequently Asked Questions:
- I like to use sweet naval oranges that are seedless.
- Sumac is a dried spice that is popular in Middle Eastern cooking. It adds tangy and slightly floral note of flavor. It an adds a nice acidic flavor like lemon zest but is not bitter.
- It is best to eat this fresh but you can store it for 3-4 days sealed in a container.
