Notes
Substitution Tip: Segment 2 fresh oranges instead of using canned mandarin oranges. To segment an orange, first slice off each end, making a flat top and bottom. With a pairing knife, slice the peel away from the orange segments. Once the peel is off, cut out the orange segments between each rib of the orange, careful to use as little of the bitter white part as possible.
