Yesterday I decided I'd like some fruit salad the way Mom
used to make it, which was pretty simple: gather together
whatever fruit was around or available, cut it up and put it
in a bowl. Chill and eat.
This being winter in the Chicago area I was pretty much
limited to apples, pears, grapes and navel oranges.
Everything went well until I remembered that Mom used to
remove the membranes from the navel orange segment, but I
couldn't remember how she did it.
I experimented and found a difficult way to do the chore,
specifically puncturing the membrane with the tip of a
paring knife and then slipping the blade under the membrane
to slice it off the pulp. More laborious than it sounds.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
