Thanks for not telling me Google is my friend. Chemo, I've been around here
long enough to be allowed to ask for a personal opinion from friends once in

I'm on my 5th case of the season (5# cases). Eat 2 or 3 every day. They
keep just fine in my dining room - but my house is very cool. Would suggest
a cool room - perhaps where the heat is turned/blocked off for the winter -
but where they would not freeze. This will probably be the last of the
season since my grocery does not carry them through the winter - and the
display is down to about 10 cases with no signs of being restocked.

Only 1 has spoiled so far this season.

I love clementines. I have always stored them in the vegetable bin of
the refrigerator - they don't store well on the counter. If you're
like me, they won't last long!

Thanks, Dora. I've already gone through a few and stashed the rest in the

Live and learn! I didn't realize a clem was a kind of tangerine -- I thought
they were something on their own! And yes, they surely are like eating
candy!

3 pounds isn't that much. Keep them on the counter. Put them in the
fridge if you like eating them cold (that would be me).

Happy eating! I love mandarin/tangerines and tangelos. Now you're
making me want some.

We went to visit our friends in Bonsall, California. They have about an
acre of tangerines. A particularly dangerous fruit fly had been found
blocks over, and they were in the quarantine area. Their heavy laden trees
of tangerines had to just drop and rot. What a shame. I walked down there,
and ate about a dozen. Like eating candy. I could not find one that was
bad in any way. Such a shame. They made home made tangelade, that is
tangerine marmalade, and hope they get some made this year, too.

I'd vote fridge. We bought a flat of them, and slowly ate them. They
stayed good in the fridge. They were hard to peel. Much harder than our
friend's tangerines, which peeled the easiest of anything next to a banana I
have seen.

We keep the 5# box on the counter, and it lasts at least a week. But
our house doesn't go above 65F, and the kitchen is one of the colder
rooms (long story).

They should be fine in the fridge in the fruit drawer. Or you could
come visit us and bring some<G> We'll exchange them for some of the
honeybells, grapefruit, and gigundus navel oranges my BIL sent us from
Florida.

Now that I know clementines are mandarins..........

I've always stored my mandarins in the fridge. They last a helluva lot
longer that way.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who didn't know clementines are
mandarins. I feel a bit less of a fool. Thanks, Peter.

BTDT. I store them the way the store sells them, usually ‹ on the
counter, but I'd put half in the fridge and half on the counterf (so you
won't forget about them).

Define 'quickly.' I've had them at room temp for more than a week
without trouble. I've found they might dry out a little bit but haven't
had one rot.

Exactly what is room temp in Minnehaha land, about -5F? <G>

I'd be asking about the humidity levels rather than the temperature. If
they are drying out rather than rotting, I'd suspect low humidity levels
being the reason behind the longer "counter life".

Humidity is low. At today's temp (5 degrees right now) there's a lot of
snap, crackling, and popping happening in house.

Oh, clever Barb! You're right, of course. I might indeed forget about them
in the fridge, but if I keep a day's ration on the counter I'll see them
(and eat them) all day long.

That's not to shabby Barb, I keep our house at 68 degrees in the winter
and 80 degrees in the summer. As a consequence the heating and cooling
bills average about $75 a month.

Some of each. Last year I made Limoncello using clementines
(yes, I know) and it was wonderful.

Limoncello de Capri

Take the zest from ~8 lemons and soak in 1 liter Everclear for 4
days at room temp. On the fourth day, mix 1 kg sugar with 1
liter water. Once sugar is completely dissolved, combine with
Everclear/lemon mixture and mix well.

Let sit 5-10 minutes, then strain out the lemon zest. Keep
refrigerated or frozen, serve cold. Other citrus fruits may be
substituted for lemons (clementines are sublime, grapefruit are
too bitter.)

Recipe may be easily scaled up or down as desired.

Note: Everclear is much tastier than vodka because it does
NOT draw out the bitter compounds in the zest.

Central humidifiers have been common for more than 50 years. You might
want to look into having one installed.

Central humidification implies a forced air central heating sytem.
However folks have been adding humidity to their homes during heating
season for hundreds of years by simply simmering large pots of
water... keep ye olde soup kettle going during winter.

I'm with you, have never kept them in the fridge. They don't last long
enough at my house anyway, we eat acouple at a sitting and the
grandsons will eat four or so.

Er-r-r, right. I often have regrets of my excesses about 24-36 hours
after ingesting a bunch (more than three) of them at one sitting. I've
never been much for self control.

From Wikipedia:

Everclear is a brand of neutral grain spirit that is available at
concentrations of 75.5% alcohol (151 proof) and 95% alcohol (190
proof),[1] in contrast to hard liquors such as rum and vodka, which
typically contain 40%–60% alcohol (80–120 proof).

Since 95.6% ethanol and 4.4% water form an azeotrope (meaning that
simple distillation cannot remove any of the remaining water), 191-proof
spirits are the maximum proof that is available from the distilled
beverage industry.

Because Everclear is a neutral grain spirit, it is relatively low in
congeners.

Everclear is manufactured by Luxco (formerly the David Sherman Company).[2]

The 190 proof variation is considered by the Guiness Book of World
Records, as the most potent spirit in the world.

Only if we make it ourselves....... but then, it's not a 'grain' spirit.

I'm looking online now to see if there's anywhere around that sells something
like it.

Thanks Ms P. Been looking for something like it, but they won't allow
stuff like that here in Oz.

Don't know why though. They let people drink Bundy Rum, and that shit will
rot your brain!!

When I distil my own spirit, it comes out at between 70-80%, but it's not
made from 'grain'......... and needs to be 'knocked down' to around 45%
and have the edges knocked off with a 'smoothing agent'. After that, it's
quite palatable.
