We take a break this week from Tucker Farm Satsuma's for some firm and sweet snack-size mandarins. They pack a good sweetness but are hard to peel, so you'll need a knife to slice them into delicious and good for you pieces. Think of them as Mother Nature's flu shot. I found good red cherries to add this week. And included are a few "ugly Holiday pears" that will get sweeter as you let them sit a day or two at your office. You'll also find some WAXF premium "Aurora Gold" and

Ugly, Delicious Holiday Pears, Pink Lady Apples and Tucker Mandarins This week's most excellent yet ugly Holiday pears, along with Taylor Gold's, are the sweetest and most flavorful pears you can buy. This week I found excellent-tasting Comice. Comice pears are the same as Harry and David "Christmas pears". Super-sweet, juicy and liked even by people who normally shy away from pears. So give them a try. You'll be glad you did. I am happy to have again scored more of this yea
