Tangerines are a sweet, nutritious treat, and preserving them for year-round enjoyment is easier than you might think! With a few simple steps, you can store fresh tangerines for up to 12 months. Here’s how to keep your tangerines fresh without compromising their flavor or nutrients.
Method 1: Freezing Tangerine Segments
Freezing is one of the best methods to keep tangerines fresh for a year while preserving their taste and nutrition.
Steps:
Peel the Tangerines: Carefully peel the tangerines and separate each segment.
Remove Seeds (Optional): If you prefer, remove any seeds from the segments.
Place on a Tray: Lay the segments in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other. This prevents them from clumping together when frozen.
Freeze for 1-2 Hours: Place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the segments are frozen.
Transfer to a Bag: Once frozen, transfer the tangerine segments to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Label it with the date and store in the freezer.
