I love making homemade vinaigrettes to use as a marinade or to top on salad greens. Do you add lemon juice, zest, or slices when you are roasting chicken, fish, or heck, even vegetables? Swap the lemon with a clementine! These citrus family fruits add such a great layer of flavor when roasting! If you’re an avid smoothie maker like my husband, Ted, Just peel and pop a few “Cuties” into a blender with your favorite smoothie ingredients for a breakfast or snack on the go. They also make a good ball if you’re not up for eating one! Just ask my toddler… Snack as-is! Joey will eat one every day, and so will I.When storing at room temperature, another thing to keep in mind is to keep them away from any direct sunlight or heat. Now you might wonder what the heck do I do with a crate of 15-20 clementines?! Fear not! Here’s how my clementine crate consumption plays out: Why do cuties go bad so fast Keeping clementines in a sealed container will make them spoil faster, as a lack of oxygen around the clementines will promote mold growth speeding up the rotting process. Clementines last for several weeks if they are kept relatively cool and out of too much direct sunlight. Spain grows scads of clementines, but there are substantial groves in California, as well.
clementines are often marketed as “Cuties” or “Sweeties” and sold in small crates or boxes, especially around Christmas time. My last words before eating one of these little gems…”oh my darling clementine!!”Ĭlementines are small oranges (a cross between an orange and a mandarin) that are usually seedless, easy to peel, and perfectly sweet to eat! Packed with vitamin C and fiber, these little gems are great as snacks on the go or make an easy addition to your lunchbox. As pumpkin is to November, oranges are to December- at least in my house! There’s one orange that I’m constantly snacking on between October and February: the darling, little cutie clementine!
