Me and the Missus bought a Seville Orange thinking all oranges were sweet i.e. we didn't read the label. As fate would have it the tree is our most successful orange tree. It's a lovely tree and its fruit look terrific - big golden orbs. Anyway...I used to force myself to eat a few so as to kid myself the purchase wasn't a disaster but it was heavy going. But this year we just left the oranges on the tree because they looked good, almost good enough to eat so I did eat one and got a surprise - it was mildly sweet and quite enjoyable. I guess the longer you leave fruit the more sugar builds up or something.
