It all depends on the retailer, but if you are reading this at it is near the end of April, then this would be the time to stock up.Īre There Other Mandarins Available after Cuties and Halos are Gone?Įven if you can't find Halos or Cuties anymore, you still may be able to find some last season mandarin varieties. But to answer the question of this post, Cuties or Halos season ends near the end of April to early May. Growers find it harder to sell their mandarins as we get closer to summer, even if they have them in June, although decades ago no one could imagine having them much past Christmas, so we have come along way. Stores need places to put these products. When May rolls around, peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, etc start coming into season. One of the biggest factors that most consumers don't think about when it comes to the end of the season is store shelf space. So how long do I have left to enjoy these easy to peel, seedless fruit? When Do Cuties or Halos Go out of Season? Unlike Kleenex, Cuties, Halos, and every other mandarin does not remain on store shelves year round. This is just like Kleenex the brand is used to describe all types of tissues. People are using these terms to describe all mandarins or tangerines (much to my cirginy). No doubt that biggest success in the produce department in recent years has been the marketing of mandarins under the names "Cuties" or "Halos".

We'd all love to say that freshly carved pumpkin becomes freshly baked pie but I'll be the first to admit that mine usually end up moldy and double-bagged in the trash bin.
CUTIE TANGERINE 2015 NOT GOOD PLUS
Cost comes into play too: if you figure an average pumpkin will run you $6 - $10 at the grocery store, you can spend the same amount and get a case or two of citrus at about the same price - plus you'll actually eat the citrus. The more citrus you can get your hands on the better. Note: In order to make up for the lack of a real pumpkin we're going for scale here. Colors are at your discretion, but black is basically all that is really needed. "Carving" tools: Basically we are talking Sharpies here. If you're working on the 'small is cute' principle, you can even up the ante with kumquats. If you want something with a bit more heft to it, a regular sized sweet orange or tangelo might work, but as these have a tendency to roll around it would be best to keep them in a bowl. These closely approximate a pumpkin in shape, though not in size. For this instructable we chose to go with the humble mikan, but really any smallish, oblate, orange citrus will do: satsuma, clementine, tangerine, mandarin or other diminutive orange. Choosing a pumpkin substitute: This part is entirely dependent on your personal preferences and what's available and in-season at your local market.
