- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch of saffron threads
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice

- 6 navel oranges
- 3 clementines, peeled
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil.

- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Add the orange juice to the saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 7 minutes.
- Add the juice to the saffron oil and let cool.
- Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruits and oranges, cutting off all of the bitter white pith; cut the pith from the clementines.
- Finely chop the clementine and add to the saffron oil, along with the lemon zest.
- Working over a large, shallow bowl with the oranges and grapefruits, cut in between the membranes to release the sections.
