Supreme Citrus

To "supreme" citrus is to remove the skin, pith, and seeds while leaving each individual segment intact. 

 
Slice off the top and bottom so that the fruit has a flat surface. Then carefully remove the skin with a very sharp knife. If you don't have a sharp chef knife, use a serrated bread knife.

This is called a Honey Tangerine.. they taste like Orange Hi-C!! They're my current fave this citrus season. We've had at least a dozen varieties of mandarins and tangerines come through the market this month. 

Once you've removed each segment squeeze the rest to extract all the sweet juicy glory.
