Serve appelsinfromasj for a taste of Norway this Easter

One might not immediately associate Norway with oranges. They certainly don’t grow in the cold and sometimes harsh Nordic climate. But as it turns out, Norwegians adore oranges, particularly at Easter time. Twenty million oranges are consumed in Norway over the course of the Easter holiday each year.
It is thought that this tradition originated from Norwegian merchant ships returning at Easter time with the year’s first citrus harvest from southern Europe. Surely it was a welcome sight after a long, dark winter.
