honeybell

Sweet orange cross

A honeybell is a type of tangelo—a citrus fruit that's a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit.

Honeybells have a distinctive bell shape with a pronounced neck, deep orange skin that peels easily, and exceptionally sweet, juicy flesh.

They ripen in January and are prized enough to be given as gifts: We ordered honeybells from Florida for the holidays.
