honeybells

A late Christmas gift arrived by mail. It's from my husband's brother, Charlie.

It's Honeybell Oranges!  They are available only once a year in late January. Post cards are mailed out at Christmas time to let you know when to expect your shipment.

Actually, they are classified as tangerines...big juicy ones!   The company used to tuck an adult size disposable bib in the box to protect your clothes when you eat them.

Also inside were some chocolate mint candies and a small bag of tangerine flavored hard candy.

They are named Honeybells because someone thought the knobby end made them look like bells.

Of course we had to try one right away. It was so good we had to try another! Sweet!

Thank you Charlie, for this healthy and delicious gift!
