January Means Honeybells!

active adult communities

I'd never heard of Honeybells until moving to Florida in 1994, but once I'd had one I was hooked. Honeybells are not oranges. They are a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy Tangerine. They are supersweet, juicy and shaped like a bell.

Honeybells only come out in January. They have a peak season of just a few weeks. If you haven't tried them, you're in for a treat. I just hope the cold snap hasn't hurt them. They're wonderful!
