You can put these in an airproof container and finish the chocolate dipping process at a time convenient to you. Once 2 hours is up, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the slices cool. Gently remove the clementine slices and place on the sheet. Put a silicon baking sheet or greaseproof paper on a baking tray. With ten minutes to go, set your oven to 80C.Īfter 2 hours, very carefully drain the liquid from the clementine slices – reserve it and use as a cordial or for cocktails. Put the fruit in the simmering water and place a little greaseproof paper on top – pushing the fruit under the water. Whilst the water is coming to the boil, use a very sharp knife to slice the fruits into rounds that are 3-4mm thick. Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and stir so that the sugar completely dissolves and the liquid is clear. 3 clementines (nb skin should be tight, not easy peeler).
I say technically, because I found it pretty hard to avoid sneaking one every time I went to take the milk out. These will technically keep perfectly well for 4-6 days in an airtight container kept the fridge. For once, easy peelers are not what you’re looking for. Just make sure the skin is fairly tight to the fruit. You could, if you wished, candy slices from a mix of fruits – clementines, lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit. But it’s a tasty mess, which is the best kind. Then you just dip them in dark chocolate ( tempered, if you feel like it). There’s a bit of mess involved at this point. The result is that the zest becomes soft and loses much of its bitterness, and therefore edible. Save it’s dipped in chocolate and very moreish.Ĭandying citrus fruit is really easy – just simmer in a sugar syrup for a couple of hours, then dry out in the oven for a few more. So here’s a recipe for something pretty similar to a dried orange slice. But I have to say I much prefer eating food to looking at it. It seems the thing to stick on your Christmas tree / wreath / elf this year is a dried orange slice.
