Each year, my dad has sent us a shipment of these amazingly sweet HoneyBell Tangelos that put standard navels to shame and we've come to look forward to it every year. They're not actually oranges--they're a rare hybrid of a Dancy Tangerine and a Duncan Grapefruit, and the result is unreal.
While several companies ship HoneyBells, we've never been disappointed with the ones from Albritton Fruit. Order now, and they'll send out a gift card letting your recipient know they'll receive their orders sometime in January. That's because the growing time is limited, so they're not even available until then--and even then, it's a very short window. Making it the perfect gift for you procrastinators. Provided they still have stock left.
A 5lb case starts around $30 but I suggest going bigger. While each one yields a lot of juice, it is about two HoneyBells to make a decent cup. And trust me, you'll fly through them when your kids beg you for fresh-squeezed juice every morning.
A little sweet sunshine in January? Who couldn't use that. -Liz
Order HoneyBell Tangelos and other citrus gifts now from Albritton Fruit for delivery in January during a week you specify. You won't regret it, trust me.
