It's impossible for oranges to have blood in them because oranges grow on trees not animals. But there is an orange called "Blood Oranges". The reason they're called this is because they have a bright red color to them.

no i believe you heard it wrong, it is name of kind of orange - blood orange.
The blood orange is a variety of orange (Citrus sinensis) with crimson, blood-colored flesh. The fruit ranges from small- to medium-sized; its skin is usually pitted but can be smooth. Blood oranges owe their distinctive appearance to a pigment called anthocyanin not typically found in citrus, but common in other red fruits and flowers. Not only is the inside of the orange darkly pigmented, but depending on the variety, the outside may feature dark washes of red. The exact reasons for the unusual inside color are unknown. However, it seems light, temperature and variety are important contributors.

She's talking about "blood oranges". They are a type of orange from Italy, I think - at least that's where I first heard of them, that has red coloured flesh mixed in with the orange coloured flesh.
