Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound clementines (4 to 7)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups regular granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups water
Vegetable oil for greasing rack
1 cup superfine granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Halve clementines crosswise and juice them with a citrus juicer, reserving juice for another use. Discard any membranes still attached to peel, then cut each half into eighths.
  • Bring peel to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan three-fourths full of cold water with 1/2 teaspoon salt and boil, uncovered, 10 minutes, then drain and rinse peel. Repeat procedure with more water and salt, draining and rinsing peel again.
  • Bring regular sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add peel and gently simmer, uncovered, until tender and translucent and syrup is thickened, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer candied peel with a slotted spoon to a lightly oiled rack set in a shallow baking pan, spreading it out so pieces don't touch, and let drain 30 minutes. If using peel for chocolate tart , reserve 1/2 cup candied peel before coating remainder with sugar.
  • Coat peel with sugar:
  • Put superfine sugar in a small bowl and toss peel, a few pieces at a time, in sugar to coat, then transfer with a dry slotted spoon to a sheet of wax paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For crust
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
5 ounces wheatmeal biscuits such as Carr's whole-wheat crackers, finely ground (1 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For filling
2 large egg yolks
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
10 1/2 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1/2 cup candied clementine peel (not sugarcoated; recipe follows), finely chopped
Garnish: candied clementine peel
Special Equipment
a 9- or 10-inch fluted round tart pan (1 inch deep) with a removable bottom; an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil tart pan.
  • Stir together biscuit crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl, then press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom of tart pan. Bake crust 10 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling:
  • Lightly beat yolks in a small bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and remove from heat. Add about one third of hot cream to yolks in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then pour yolk mixture into remaining cream, whisking.
  • Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it is thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170°F on thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let boil). Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate, whisking until smooth, then whisk in chopped candied peel.
  • Pour filling evenly over crust and chill tart, uncovered, until firm, at least 2 hours. Remove side of pan and serve tart chilled or at cool room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm clementines: This will ensure that the peel is easy to remove and that the candied peel has a good flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the peel: This will help to prevent the peel from tearing.
  • Remove the white pith from the peel: This is the bitter part of the peel and it should be removed before candying.
  • Cut the peel into thin strips: This will help the peel to cook evenly and it will also make it easier to eat.
  • Blanch the peel before candying: This will help to remove any bitterness from the peel and it will also help the peel to retain its color.
  • Use a sugar syrup to candy the peel: The sugar syrup will help to preserve the peel and it will also give it a sweet and sticky coating.
  • Cook the peel in the sugar syrup until it is translucent: This will ensure that the peel is properly candied.
  • Drain the peel and allow it to cool: Once the peel is cooked, it should be drained and allowed to cool before storing.
  • Store the candied peel in an airtight container: Candied peel can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied clementine peel is a delicious and versatile treat that can be used in a variety of recipes.
