Tangerines, clementines, satsumas etc.

Tangerines, clementines and satsumas are all traditional seasonal Christmas fruits. How do you use them in your cooking? Or would you rather eat them as they are?

I use the peels for cooking something like poached pears in red wine sauce.
Or I julienne the peels and include them in cookies.

Tangerines and Clementines I eat as is - my wife will put them (slice by slice) into jelly (jello). To be honest, I never really considered them any other way.

I eat them as they are
It's not the season here though. It's mango & banana season, so I'll eat those instead

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

As is, but I don't like all of them.

My OH considers them as a snack before coming to bed.

Not traditional over here. The season really begins some time towards the end of January.

Tangerines and Clemetines are actually both types of Mandarins.
I know this because I’m boring a hell and I listened to a long podcast about why they don’t taste the same as they used to.

Link is to BBC sounds. Sorry if you’re in a country that does not allow access but tbh you’re not missing much

I've used them all sorts of ways. Here is a rare biscuit (cookie) recipe from me (which happens to contain that divisive herb, lavender)

None?
What about citrus in general?

 

[SoCalZone10]

I eat them at lot, I have over 20 citrus trees for a reason, they grow very well and their hang time is excellent.

I prefer oranges over mandarins (easy peel, naartjies)

It’s the opposite here, my satsumas are very easy to peel, however the Algerian Fremont mandarins are not, but that’s a strong bonus point for that fruit, the vermin don’t like them, they like satsumas better.
