Tangelo Recipes

Tangelos are juicy citrus fruits with a sweet-tart flavor that tastes like a cross between tangerine and grapefruit. Their fragrant zest and vibrant juice make them a flexible ingredient for both sweet and savory recipes.

Use tangelo segments in winter salads, grain bowls, fruit salsas, yogurt parfaits, and citrus desserts. The juice works well in vinaigrettes, marinades for chicken or fish, pan sauces, glazes, cocktails, mocktails, and quick citrus curds.

Because tangelos are usually easy to peel and very aromatic, they are especially useful when a recipe needs fresh citrus flavor without too much bitterness. Add the zest near the end of cooking to preserve its bright aroma.
