HoneyBells - The gift that won't arrive in time for Christmas. Which is exactly the point.

If you are not familiar with HoneyBells, you are not familiar with the sweetest, most delectable, lipsmackingly awesome nectar of the gods. Or as my kids call it, good orange juice. (Silly kids.)

Each year, my dad has sent us a shipment of these amazingly sweet HoneyBell Tangelos that put standard navels to shame and we've come to look forward to it every year. They're not actually oranges--they're a rare hybrid of a Dancy Tangerine and a Duncan Grapefruit, and the result is unreal.

 

While several companies ship HoneyBells, we've never been disappointed with the ones from Albritton Fruit. Order now, and they'll send out a gift card letting your recipient know they'll receive their orders sometime in January. That's because the growing time is limited, so they're not even available until then--and even then, it's a very short window. Making it the perfect gift for you procrastinators. Provided they still have stock left.

A 5lb case starts around $30 but I suggest going bigger. While each one yields a lot of juice, it is about two HoneyBells to make a decent cup. And trust me, you'll fly through them when your kids beg you for fresh-squeezed juice every morning.

A little sweet sunshine in January? Who couldn't use that.  -Liz
