Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. This week we share 22 orange recipes to make the most of citrus season!

January is citrus season - and thank goodness. When we're in the depths of dark, cold Canadian winters combined with colds and the flu, we need something bright and cheery with a good dose of vitamin C to pull us through it.

The vibrant shades of citrus fit the bill! Today we celebrate oranges in all their colours and varieties. They're the star ingredient in all these orange recipes - whether sweet or savoury. Enjoy!
