Michael's Notes: If your tangerines are small, you can leave the sections intact.
11
If the tangerines are large, or if you want to use oranges, you should remove each citrus section from its membrane.
12
To do so, cut a slice off both ends of each fruit so it will stand upright.
13
Stand each fruit on a cutting surface and, using a sharp knife, remove all the peel and white pith by slicing from top to bottom all the way around the fruit, following its contours.
14
Cut the sections away from their membranes.
