I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruity little things peeled' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'tennis gear off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'tennis'+'gear'='tennisgear'
'tennisgear' with letters rearranged gives 'TANGERINES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tangerines that I've seen before include "Citrus fruits" , "Natives of Tangiers" , "fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
