Bumpy Skin Mandarin

A Golden Nugget Mandarin has bumpy skin but is sweet and tastes delicious upon opening and eating!

My friend Jen brought me a bag of Golden Nugget mandarins

Kishu Mandarins are Petite

And sweet…..and seedless.

Here’s a Bon Appetit article about the fruit that Alejandra Borunda (The author) waits all year to eat. Kishu Mandarins. “The best piece of citrus I have ever eaten was a tiny, wrinkled thing the size of a quail egg. After I peeled away its loose skin, I found a prepossessing little fruit, perfect and rotund, its segments bulging with juice.”

A Winter Meal Finish

3 Amaretti and 2 Mandarins

Italian Amaretti cookies are gluten and dairy free.

And delicious if you like almond flavor. These are store bought Amaretti but I found a recipe to try with just four ingredients- almond flour, sugar, egg whites and almond extract.
