Clementine creation courtesy of Gustaf Olsen
In the early winter months I anxiously await the arrival of the first wooden boxes of this citrus gem. Underneath optically tricky orange netting little easy-to-peel orbs of sweetness nestle. Each wedge waiting to be separated from the next, the best ones even having individual tear-drop purses of juice inside every segment.
I adore them. But now, alas, as clementine season draws to its close they drop in size and sweetness. Maybe it's a good thing, having them slowly fade away rather than abruptly stop at their juiciest best. Enjoying food at its seasonal apex brings so much more delight than a constant dull flow of substandard hard-forced items. Until next winter, darlings.....
