Clementines aren't just for peeling and eating! We've got a dozen recipes, from appetizers to salads to desserts, that give the sweet, seedless citrus the attention it deserves.

Clementine Basics

In Season: The most well-known member of the mandarin family, clementines are at their peak from November through April.

What to Look For: Choose clementines that are firm or only slightly soft and feel heavy for their size. Steer clear of any that have puffy or wrinkled skin, which indicates that they're overripe.

How to Store: Clementines will keep at room temperature for up to one week or in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
