What goes with Satsuma Mandarin?
Satsuma has a loose peel and tender segments whose membranes usually give less resistance than many oranges. The flesh provides sweet citrus juice with a variable acid edge; the coloured peel contains a much stronger aroma than the juice. These are different working ingredients: a glass of juice cannot supply the texture of a segment or the intensity of zest.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Satsuma Mandarin?
Keep chocolate, chilli and aged cheese portions small enough for the satsuma to remain audible. Pair tender segments with crisp nuts or a browned savoury surface, and let juice supply a separate acidic finish. Use zest as seasoning rather than bulk: excessive peel can make an otherwise gentle fruit dessert taste medicinal or bitter.
