Honey Tangerines Make Great Valentine’s Centerpieces

This year decorate for Valentine’s Day with sweet honey tangerines to make beautiful decorations that you can also eat. Chocolate is the food most often associated with Valentine’s Day but it’s difficult to decorate with chocolate. Honey tangerines, a special type of tangerine that is only in season from early February through early April, are the perfect Valentine’s Day decoration because they are exotic, easy to eat, and naturally delicious. Honey tangerines can have either a red orange color or a deep and bright orange color, so combining the fruits can make for beautiful decorations. Add in other citrus fruits, flowers, and other decorations to make the centerpieces more personal. You can also create beautiful wedding reception centerpieces from honey tangerines and Honeybell oranges. The bell shape of the Honeybells makes them the perfect wedding decoration.

When you’re making your own decorative centerpieces you can use almost anything as the basis of the centerpiece. For Valentine’s Day centerpieces a simple cardboard box with handmade Valentines pasted on the outside is a beautiful and cheap display for the honey tangerines. You can also buy baskets, vases, and other containers. Bushel baskets tipped on the side with tangerines and oranges spilling out creatively make for a beautiful table centerpiece. Honey tangerines dressed in protective knitted jackets in holiday colors with tags attached are wonderful place cards. Citrus fruits, which can look and taste great at a range of temperatures, is great for parties. The only limit when it comes to decorating with tangerines is your imagination.

Fruit baskets full of citrus fruit are the ideal decorations to put in corners, by end tables, and in other awkward or hard to fill spots. If you have a dark corner in a room placing a basket of bright orange citrus fruits there will brighten up the corner and make sure everyone in the room has easy access to some delicious fruit. Always make sure there is a fruit basket on the bar or near the table with the alcohol so that whoever is playing bartender for the night has plenty of fresh citrus fruit to juice in order to make delicious cocktails. Nothing tastes better in cocktails than fresh citrus juice. Champagne, a drink traditionally associated with Valentine’s Day, blends beautifully with citrus fruit so whether you’re making a Mimosa or champagne punch be sure to add the juice of some honey tangerines, grapefruits and oranges into the mix to create a light and refreshing flavor.
