It is not always possible to buy truly tasty tangerines in a store or at the market.

But even if you bring home something really sour, you shouldn’t despair.

Experienced housewives know a simple method that can destroy the acid in citrus fruits.

To do this, they just need to be exposed to high temperatures.

If you have plenty of time to spare, you can simply lay the tangerines out on the windowsill and leave them there for 2-3 days.

An important condition is that sunlight must fall on the bright fruits.

If you don’t want to wait that long, take a deep enough container and fill it with water at a temperature of approximately 39-40 degrees above zero.

Place the tangerines in a bowl and wait for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to cold water. Important: do not keep the fruit in the water for too long, otherwise they may become tasteless.
