Editing Clementine

The clementine originated in Algeria at the beginning of the 20th century.  It's the smallest of the tangerine family, with thin bright orange peel.

Clementines have a distinctive sweet-sharp, intensely flavoured aromatic flesh with no pips.  They come into season in the Autumn, so they make a popular fruit eaten at Christmas time.  Their small size makes them good for peeling and bottling in syrup or alcohol.  They can also be added to a mixed fruit marmalade.
