It's the most wonderful Clementine of the year


There's something about Clementines that makes them so addictive. It could be the ease of peeling them, but for me it's an essential Christmas tradition.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets apples and oranges in her stocking. The tradition in my family stems from when my grandparents were growing up, during the Great Depression.

Fresh fruit, especially oranges, were a treat because of their rarity. Clementines, in season at Christmas time, always remind me of my grandparents and Christmas!
