Ingredients
  

Clementine Pumpkins
  • 30 clementines
  • 2 fresh celery stalks slice into very thin ribs

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Small knife for slicing celery

Method
 

  1. Rinse the clementines and celery, then dry them. Dry fruit is easier to peel without slipping.
  2. Peel each clementine carefully and keep its rounded shape intact. If the peel pulls off in large pieces, loosen it from the stem end without squeezing the fruit.
  3. Slice the celery into very thin ribs, making enough pieces for the 30 clementines. Split any rib that feels too wide to insert without pressing hard.
  4. Insert one thin celery rib into the top of each clementine, about halfway down, so it stays upright. If it leans or slips out, use a thinner rib and press it in a little farther.
  5. Arrange the clementine pumpkins in a dish. Serve now or cover and refrigerate for up to one day.

Notes

This is a Full GAPS raw-fruit snack. In the Introduction Diet, the GAPS book introduces raw fruit in Stage 6 after earlier foods are tolerated; it is not a Stage 1 through Stage 5 snack.
Keep the clementine whole after peeling. The celery rib is a stem for presentation, not a handle.
