My local grocery service has discontinued them.

My memory says they should still be in season. Any ideas?

They don't last much beyond mid February. If you do find
some, they are lieky to be either dried out inside or
mushy. Their season is shorter than navels, unfortunately,
but it has lengthened a bit (Nov-Feb)since they are now being
shipped from California as well as Spain. The first year
I ever saw them in the stores, theyw ere there for about 2
weeks before Christmas, then disappeared.

St. Louis, MO area Sam's Clubs still had them Tuesday evening; that's the
only place I've been this week selling product, except the local farmer's
market, which had none.

Clementine season runs from late October to February. Sorry, but they
are now out of season.

I saw some at my local supermarket today. $1.79/lb and they looked awful,
I'd say the season's over.

Clementine season runs from late October to February. Sorry, but they
are now out of season.

For the past several weeks valencias have been 5 for $1.00, they're on
the small side but very juicy and delicious.

About two weeks ago, a local (Long Island, New York) Pathmark got some
clementine hybrids from Israel--they get them each year around this
time. I guess the growing season runs a little later there. These babies
are *much* better than the ones I've had from Spain--more aromatic,
sweeter, and tastier.

I ought to get another box.
