My mother-in-law Luvenia sent a sweet treat of Honeybell oranges from Florida. This hybrid of Dancy Tangerine and Duncan Grapefruit, I have never seen before. Lu tells me that she's been ordering them for 25 years and wanted to share their goodness with us.
A box of sunshine to enjoy during a rather dreary weather week.
The packing receipt from the grower, Hale Groves, notes that there is NO warehouse, NO middleman and NO cold storage. They are enormous and beautiful. I immediately cut one in half to sample it. Luscious. Juicy. Divine.
They're are only available in January, so I savor every single one. Thinking about slicing one open now. Besides on their own, I have been incorporating them in salads with green and black olives or red bell peppers and avocado or ... Tonight I am trying out this salad recipe with beets and mint.
