Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.

    Oranges

    Once found at the bottom of Christmas stockings, oranges today mostly end up in breakfast-table juice glasses. Chock-full of nutrients like vitamin C, they also lend sweet, tangy flavor to foods.
