- VARIATION: Use oranges and their juice in place of tangerines.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange by slicing off the top and bottom, then working down the sides.
- Hold the orange over a bowl to catch the juice and cut each section loose by slicing down next to the membrane.
