kushman oranges

Does anybody know if these oranges will be back on QVC this year. I was hoping they would show up on this weeks gourmet series. My family really loved those oranges.

Aren't they sometimes available in supermarket produce sections, not as the brand Cushman, but as tangelos or minneolas?

Seems like around January.

They will ship them in January. I think in late December the Q will start showing them. Last year I signed up for auto delivery and I think mine will come in around mid January of 2015 which is their harvest time.

They are really good and juicy.

I just looked them up… Cushman's sold to Harry and David. Not sure when. You can order from that website. I don't know how the prices compare to the prices at the Q. Honeybell dot com will get you to the website.

I must be the only one who wasn't happy with Honeybells. I bought them from the Q about two years ago and they were awful! I don't remember anymore what was wrong and I didn't send them back but should have. Did anyone else have a bad experience?

I didn't even know they sold oranges too.

I've gotten the Cushman's Honeybells in the past and enjoyed them. But that was several years ago, so I don't know if the quality has changed. I still love winter citrus but have to keep it to a minimum, due to the acid.

Thanks for the replies. I think Harry and David sell items on HSN. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they are on QVC this year. It always makes me a little leary when a company sells out to another.

I ordered from HSN last year. They were the best I've ever had.

Lived in Florida for twenty five years, you may want to try some oranges by Blood. Weird name I know . They are delicious, however all oranges may be a bit more expensive this year due to the weather. Anyway they are called Blood Oranges. You can google it, I believe you can purchase via internet and they deliver.

Over a decade ago, my father sent me honey bells from Florida and they were devine! So I ordered them from QVC a few years ago and they were quite ordinary. Disappointing......Felt I could get better oranges round the corner at my local store. Cushman sold to Harry and David sold to 1-800 flowers

I simply cannot eat those oranges. What an unfortunate name someone gave them. All I think about is blood while I'm looking at them. Why couldn't they have called them ruby oranges, sunset oranges, Valentine oranges or something more appealing?

KJPA~ Nope, you aren't alone. I ordered honeybells last year from QVC and wasn't impressed at all. I certainly wouldn't order again.

I posted back in August, this is not going to be a good crop because of excessive rain in that area of Florida......and then we are dealing with citrus greening which is really going to hurt the state. I really feel for farmers this year, but when you buy from Harry and David, or Williams and Sonoma, you do expect THE best. Poodlepet

Got a coupon magazine in the mail. Local I think and Honeybells were in it... Cushmans from Harry and David. Call them -- they had a deal.... ten pounds $29. Must wait to January to get them. I ordered. Apparently they are from Florida. When we go down to visit our daughter I could get some but I cannot take them back on the plane, I don't think.
