*CUTTING CITRUS SUPREMES
1 Start with a sharp paring knife and cutting board. Cut off a small section from the top and bottom of the fruit. This will give the fruit stability and keep it from rolling around.
2 Cut down the rind from top to bottom following the curve of the fruit. The goal is to remove the rind and the pith (white bitter part) but not the fruit. Continue until all of the rind has been cut off.
3 Hold the fruit in one hand and cut half way into the fruit at one of the dividing membranes.
4 Cut on the other side of the segment along the membrane. This should release the segment or supreme. Continue until all the segments are cut out. Squeeze the juice into a bowl and discard the membranes.
