What to do with Clementines and Oranges

Celia and Charlie love clementines.  They're so cute and little and the kids can peel and eat them by themselves.  However, when I looked in our refrigerator yesterday, I realized we were each going to have to eat about 5 clementines a day or they were going to go bad.  So that this didn't happen, I made a clementine-orange salad.  It's a basic creamy fruit salad, so if you have any fruit besides clementines and oranges available, throw it in too.


Sunshine Salad
Ingredients:
6 Clementines
2 Medium Oranges
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans
1/2 Cup Whipped Creme
1/4 Cup Sour Creme
1 Vanilla Pudding Snack-Pak
1 TBSP Brown Sugar

1. Peel and separate clementine segments.  Make sure the clementines don't have any seeds.  Throw into a large bowl.
2. Peel oranges.  Cut each orange into four circular slices going against the segments (so it looks like a flower or a star).  Separate circle into triangles.  Make sure you take out any seeds.  Throw oranges and chopped nuts in with the clementines.
3.  In a separate bowl, mix together whipped creme, sour cream, vanilla pudding and brown sugar.
4. Gently pour creamy mix into fruit and nut mixture and stir.  Sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top and serve.
