* HOW TO SUPREME CITRUS FRUITS: 

1. SLICE RIND - Start with a very sharp knife. Trim the fruit’s ends; set a flat side on a cutting board.
2. REMOVE PITH - Slice off the peel and pith in sections, following the shape of the sphere.
3. SLICE SEGMENTS - Set the fruit on its side. Cut toward the center, along a membrane. Then slice along the adjacent membrane until the cuts meet, releasing the segment. Transfer the segment to a bowl. Repeat.
4. SQUEEZE JUICE - Hold the membranes over the bowl and squeeze to juice.
