A celementine is a small, sweet orange-y fruit, probably a hybrid of
tangerines and another orange-relative, along similar lines, but not
identical, to a mandarin orange. They peel easily, having what marketers
call a "zipper skin", and have a few pits, but not many. I believe they
are Mediterranean in origin, but I could be wrong about that, and we've
begun packing the books in boxes for the move, so it won't be easy for
me to check on just now. I used the zest only because I wanted the
orange-oil flavor and aroma without the juice adding to the sweetness
and the balance of liquid-to-acid-to-sugar-to-pectin that makes a good
jellied sauce without hours of cooking, which tends to spoil volatile
aromatics anyway.

A FAQ, technically _an_ Ef Ay Kew, is a file of _F_requently _A_sked
_Q_uestions (and their answers).
