Satsuma Centerpiece for the Thanksgiving Table

November 25th, 2008

Satsuma tangerines are one of the highlights of Fall for me.  These little, clementine-like fruits are sweet and perfumey.  They are super-easy to peel and they have no seeds.  At market they are sold with leaves attached, making them pretty too.

Fill your favorite bowl with satsumas and voilá, you have a centerpiece and a healthy dessert offering all in once.  On the East coast, satsumas can be found at specialty green grocers and at Whole Foods.  On the West coast, they are more readily available at grocery stores and farmer’s markets.  Most years, the season runs from November until February.  Although last year, it ended very early.
