So so good!. I had 1 blood orange left and used it's juice along with the smoked paprika. Must say that I was concerned that there was too much liquid with the egg white and o.j. but held faith and went ahead. I had marcona halves already blanched which made things easier and it was basically mix and roast. Once the nuts were well cooled they were delicious (and addicting!) in the wonderful coating.
