Time 2h10m

Yield about 12 candied peels

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large navel orange
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, cut the orange part of the peel from the stem end of the orange down to the navel end, forming long 3/4 to 1-inch-wide strips. Bring a heavy small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peels and cook for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse the peels under cold water. Repeat cooking the peels in the saucepan with fresh boiling water and rinsing under cold water.
  • Stir the sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh water in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange peels and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the peels to a sheet of parchment paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.
  • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Dip 1 1/2-inches of each candied orange peel into the chocolate then place them on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

CANDIED ORANGE



Candied Orange image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h38m

Yield about 2 cups peel

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 thick-skinned Valencia or navel oranges
4 1/2 cups sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Cut tops and bottoms off of the orange and score the orange into quarters, cutting down only into the peel and not into the fruit. Peel the skin and pith of the orange in large pieces, use the orange for another recipe. Cut the peel into strips about 1/4-inch wide. Put the orange peel in a large saucepan with cold water to cover, bring to a boil over high heat. Then pour off the water. Repeat 1 or 2 more times depending up how assertive you want the orange peels to be. (Test kitchen liked the texture of a 3 time blanch best, it also mellowed the bitterness. But it is a matter of preference.) Remove the orange peels from the pan.
  • Whisk the sugar with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 to 9 minutes (If you took the sugar's temperature with a candy thermometer it would be at the soft thread stage, 230 to 234 degrees F.) Add the peels and simmer gently, reducing heat to retain a simmer. Cook until the peels get translucent, about 45 minutes. Resist the urge to stir the peels or you may introduce sugar crystals into the syrup. If necessary, swirl the pan to move the peels around. Drain the peels, (save the syrup for ice tea.) Roll the peels in sugar and dry on a rack, for 4 to 5 hours. Return to the sugar to store.
  • Cook's Note: One way to use orange peels is to stuff a dried date with a piece of orange peel and almond, then dip the entire thing into dark chocolate.

CANDIED ORANGE SLICES DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE



Candied Orange Slices Dipped in Chocolate image

Someone gave us a gift of these delicious orange slices. These tangy oranges and creamy chocolate are an unbeatable combination. They look fancy and colorful, and are easy to make. A Christmas favorite. These do take a while to make but are well worth it. The orange slices are delicious even without the chocolate. Drying time not included in time. NOTE: When cooking the orange slices DO-NOT STIR. If someone is helping you make sure they do not stir just them push down on the orange slices as recipe says. :) I cut the slices in half again after cooking.

Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Candy

Time 2h30m

Yield 50 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 valencia oranges
2 cups water
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups granulated sugar, as needed for coating
2 lbs semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces (reserve a 2-ounce chunk)

Steps:

  • Cut the oranges in half lengthwise, with the cut side down slice the oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, (you will have 1/2 of a slice of orange:DO-NOT peel),discard the ends.
  • In a 10-inch saute pan combine the water and the 3 1/2 cups of sugar, stir to blend, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add the orange slices, separating them, and simmer them gently for 1 hour uncovered; peroidically dunk any floating slices.
  • Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Remove the orange slices, with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to let drain and dry for 24 hours; NOTE; I dryed them in my oven set for for baked goods, or if oven has a pilot light, this worked great if it is a damp day.
  • After drying the slices, toss them in the granulated sugar and reserve them, do not stack them as they will stick together.
  • While you are coating the orange slices with the sugar, have the chocolate melting slowly in the top of a double boiler over 120 degree water: Chocolate can be melted in the microwave.
  • When all the chocolate is melted and creamy and registers 100 degrees on an instant themometer, remove the top section from the double boiler.
  • Add the 2-ounce of chocolate and gently stir until the thermometer reads 88 degrees to 91 degree, then remove what remains of the chunk of chocolate.
  • Now dip the orange slices 2/3 of the way into the chocalate; gently scrape off excess chocolate against the side of the pan.
  • Place the orange slices on a sheet of wax paper to set.
  • Work quickly with the slices if the chocolate becomes to thick for dipping, place it over the 120 degree water again until it reaches 88 to 91 degrees.

CANDIED LEMON, ORANGE OR GRAPEFRUIT PEEL



Candied Lemon, Orange or Grapefruit Peel image

Pungent citrus peels, softened by simmering in syrup, then dried with a thin, crisp coating of granulated sugar. A fruity, bittersweet confection that can hold its own with a strong after dinner coffee. And think how virtuous you'll feel that you transformed otherwise wasted peels into such a delicacy.

Provided by DonnaR

Categories     Candy

Time 1h

Yield 1 lb

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 grapefruits or 4 oranges
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
sugar or superfine sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • With sharp knife, score the skin of the fruit (use only one type for a batch) into quarters,then peel it off with your fingers, keeping the pith attached.
  • Lay each quarter of skin on a cutting board and cut to make uniform strips from 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide, according to your preference; you should have about 3 cups of strips.
  • Cover peels with water in saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute,then drain, cover with water again and repeat two times (total of three times).
  • Then, cover again and simmer the peel for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In the saucepan, make the syrup with sugar, water and corn syrup. Boil for about two minutes, then add the peel.
  • Simmer briskly stirring occasionally, until the syrup is considerably reduced, then watch closely.
  • The point of decision:.
  • If you want a tender candied peel, cook until perhaps 3 tbsp syrup is left, and drain the peels (you can save the syrup).
  • Medium-firm, leave only a spoonful of syrup, then drain.
  • For candy-like crisp peel, watch closely until the syrup is on the point of hardening and has almost vanished.
  • Arrange the peel on a bed of sugar on a jelly roll pan at whatever stage you have stopped cooking. Straiten the strips while hot if you want them symmetrical, or crumble them if you like a kinky tangle.
  • Sprinkle more sugar over the strips and toss them occasionally as they cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, put the strips onto cake racks and let them dry. The consistency of the finished candy will depend partly on the point at which the cooking stopped, but also on how long the strips are left to dry. They will keep indefinitely if candied 'hard'; not quite as long if left translucent and flexible. The choice is yours.

EMERIL'S SPINACH, ORANGE AND CANDIED ALMOND SALAD



Emeril's Spinach, Orange and Candied Almond Salad image

My husband and I caught the Emeril Live cooking show on Food Network over at Mom's last night and I wanted to find this recipe before it was lost forever. I haven't tested it yet, but I KNOW it's good! This salad adds a splash of color to your dining table!

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Oranges

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
4 small oranges
1/4 cup champagne or 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 cups fresh Baby Spinach, washed and dried
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red onion, thinkly sliced and cut into crescents
freshly ground cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 10" square of parchment paper with butter or vegetable oil and set aside.
  • Use a salad spinner to rinse the baby spinach thoroughy. Remove as much moisture as possible from the spinach or your salad will be soggy. Set aside to drain.
  • SIMPLE SYRUP: In a small saucepan combine 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of water over medium-high heat. Swirl the mixture occasionally until the sugar turns a golden amber color*. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the almonds and stir to coat. Continue cooking until the almonds are fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute. *Be careful not to burn the sugar/nut mixture or yourself! Transfer nuts to parchment paper, using a spatula to spread into a thin layer, and set aside to cool completely.
  • With a sharp knife, peel the orange, remove the bitter white pith and cut the fruit into segments. (Use a small bowl to catch the orange juice that drips.) Reserve the segments in a separate bowl. Reserve the orange juice.
  • SALAD DRESSING: Combine 1/4 cup of the reserved fresh orange juice, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the Champagne or white vinegar, olive oil, fresh orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Transfer the dressing to a non-reactive container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  • Put the fresh spinach in a large serving bowl, then top with the orange segments, celery, and red onions. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, break the caramelized almonds (at this point the almonds have turned to "brittle") into bite-size pieces and scatter over the top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly and serve immediately.

DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED CANDIED ORANGE PEELS



Dark Chocolate Covered Candied Orange Peels image

You know how the "home made" version of something is always better? Imagine a home made "Terry's Chocolate Orange"!

Provided by Lottidawe

Categories     Candy

Time P1DT6h

Yield 72 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 sunkist oranges
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
water, for blanching

Steps:

  • Cut oranges in half. Juice the halves.
  • "Gut" the orange halves of all pulp & pith.
  • Slice the halves into strips or triangles (I do triangles).
  • Blanch orange peels so they will retain their colour.
  • Candie the orange peels: aproximately 1/2 cup water & 1 cup sugar per 3 oranges; bring all 3 to a boil then immediately reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until all liquid has been absorbed by the oranges; STIR FREQUENTLY!
  • Toss the candied orange peels in sugar to lightly coat, then spread in one layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in a low temperature oven (200 to 250F) until orange peels are sticky but not wet.
  • COOL.
  • Melt dark chocolate in a double-boiler and proceed to dip the candied orange peels in the chocolate and lay on waxed paper in a cool, dry place to set. A cold cellar is ideal. If you have a garage, there is good in colder climates.
  • ***One of the best things about these candies is that you can spread out making them over a week or two! Refrigerate orange peels after each step in an airtight container.
  • ***Use oranges with very thick peels. I find sunkist oranges are very good to use for that reason.

CANDIED-ORANGE CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL TART



Candied-Orange Chocolate-Caramel Tart image

This knockout dessert was inspired by the legendary chocolate-caramel tart created by the equally legendary pastry chef Claudia Fleming. To impart citrus flavor, we used the syrup leftover from candying orange peel to make the caramel. A thick layer of chocolate ganache follows, and sprinklings of the candied zest and fleur de sel glimmer on top like encrusted jewels.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 5h30m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces chocolate wafer cookies (about 34)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of fleur de sel
1 orange
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Fleur de sel, for serving

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, sugar, and fleur de sel; pulse until evenly moistened. Press evenly into the bottom and up sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake until firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Candied orange: With a vegetable peeler, remove orange zest in strips (leaving white pith behind); finely slice. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add zest; reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain, reserving syrup (you should have about 1/2 cup).
  • Transfer zest to a large plate and spread in an even layer; let cool completely. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Zest can be stored up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Caramel and ganache: Combine cream and orange zest in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let steep 1 hour. Strain. Measure 6 tablespoons; refrigerate the rest.
  • Bring reserved orange syrup, sugar, 2 tablespoons water, salt, and cream of tartar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, gently swirling pan occasionally, and washing down sides with a wet pastry brush (to prevent crystals from forming), until mixture turns deep amber, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add reserved 6 tablespoons infused cream (mixture will bubble and steam). Stir in butter until smooth. Pour caramel into cooled crust; let cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or, covered, up to 2 days.
  • Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring 1/3 cup reserved infused cream (saving any remainder for another use) to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate and let stand1 minute, then stir until smooth. Remove tart from refrigerator and spread ganache over caramel to edges with an offset spatula. Return to refrigerator until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove tart from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 15 to 30 minutes. Chop 2 tablespoons candied zest and sprinkle over chocolate. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and more chopped candied zest; remove from pan, slice, and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time P1DT50m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup diced candied orange peel
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
2 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
Coarse salt
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg, separated
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Stir together candied orange peel, raisins, orange zest, and liqueur in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk flours together in a large bowl. Transfer half to a food processor, and add butter. Pulse to cut in butter (the largest pieces should be the size of small peas). Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt to remaining flour in bowl; whisk to combine. With a pastry blender or your fingertips, work in flour-butter mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Whisk together cream, whole egg, and egg yolk. Make a well in the center of flour mixture, and pour in half of cream mixture. Draw dry ingredients over wet ingredients with a rubber spatula, scraping bottom of bowl to incorporate all dry crumbs. Add remaining cream mixture, and gently mix just until incorporated (do not overwork dough).
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface, and press dough into a 6-by-9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle dried-fruit mixture evenly over dough. With a short side facing you, fold rectangle into thirds, as you would a letter. Rotate dough a quarter-turn clockwise. Roll out dough to a 6-by-9-inch rectangle, folding and rotating once more.
  • Pat dough into a 1 1/4-inch-thick rectangle with floured hands, and cut out as many rounds as possible with a floured 2-inch round biscuit cutter. Gather scraps, reroll once, and cut out more rounds (you should have a total of 16).
  • Place scones 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Lightly beat egg white, and brush tops; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CANDIED ORANGE STICKS



Candied Orange Sticks image

Categories     Orange     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes about 100 sticks

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 large oranges
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup (optional)
7 ounces good dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Scrub the oranges, then remove the peel in quarters. To do this, cut through the peel with a sharp knife, going right around the orange, starting and finishing at the stem end, then repeat at a right angle to the first cut. Remove the peel, with the attached pith, from the fruit. Weigh out 9 ounces of peel and cut it into slices measuring about 1/4 by 2 inches.
  • Put the orange peel slices into a large pan and cover with 8 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with 4 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved (it won't take long). Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 24 hours.
  • Bring the pan to a boil again. Add the corn syrup, if using, and boil gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated and the orange sticks are coated with bubbling orange syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Using a pair of tongs (or your fingers), carefully remove the orange sticks and place on a wire rack with a tray underneath to catch the drips. Leave in a warm place for 24 hours, or place in a very low oven at approximately 140°F for 2 to 3 hours to dry.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces, put into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, and leave until melted. Remove from the heat. Dip one half of each orange stick in the melted chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper to dry.
  • Before dipping, the sticks will keep well for 3 to 4 months. Once they have their chocolate coating, they are best eaten within 3 weeks.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Orange-Scented Pastry Cream
1/2 cup (120 g/4.2 oz) heavy cream
Pastry Cream
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Caramel Butter Sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp (12 g/0.42 oz) cornstarch
2 cups plus 2 Tbsp (500 g/17.6 oz) water
1 cup (225 g/8 oz) firmly packed light brown sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
2 Tbsp (30 g/1 oz) unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp (15 g/0.5 oz) Myers's dark rum
Candied Pecans
1 1/4 cups (125 g/4.4 oz) pecan halves
1/4 cup (60 g/2.1 oz) water
1/4 cup (50 g/1.76 oz) granulated sugar
Puff Pastry Rounds
Puff Pastry
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Special Equipment
medium, plain tip (Ateco #6); 3-inch round pastry cutter

Steps:

  • Orange-Scented Pastry Cream
  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream to soft peaks.
  • 2. Whisk the Pastry Cream until smooth. Gently fold in the orange zest and whipped cream. Transfer the cream to a pastry bag fitted with a medium, plain tip and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Caramel Butter Sauce
  • 1. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons (30 g/1 oz) of the water.
  • 2. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vanilla bean pod and seeds, and remaining 2 cups (470 g/16.5 oz) water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking, for another minute. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, salt, and rum. Keep the sauce warm until serving, or refrigerate it, covered, and rewarm before serving.
  • Candied Pecans
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Place the pecans in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • 2. In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, just until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the syrup over the pecans and toss until combined. Spread the coated pecans on a half-sheet pan and bake for about 8 minutes, tossing once during baking, until browned and fragrant.
  • Puff Pastry Rounds
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a half-sheet pan with a silicone baking mat.
  • 2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the puff pastry out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Using a 3-inch round pastry cutter, cut out 10 rounds from the dough. Arrange the rounds on the prepared sheet pan and top with another silicone baking mat and half-sheet pan; this will allow the rounds to rise evenly. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the rounds are browned and nicely puffed. Remove the top sheet pan and baking mat. Preheat the broiler and dust the rounds liberally with confectioners' sugar. Place the rounds under the broiler until they are caramelized. Assemble the desserts immediately.
  • Assembly

CANDIED MAPLE ORANGE SLICES



Candied Maple Orange Slices image

This was an ad hoc creation for someone who couldn't eat strawberries. They are very sweet and 2 to 3 slices satisfies even an ardent sugar monger. The name is inspired by Anthony Wilford Brimley. We eat the slices slightly warm but they can benefit from time in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose oranges that are ripe and free of blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • To remove the bitterness from the orange peels, boil them for 1-2 minutes, then drain and rinse them.
  • Use a large pot to make the candied oranges, as the mixture will bubble up as it cooks.
  • Stir the oranges frequently while they are cooking to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the oranges until they are translucent and have a slightly chewy texture.
  • Store the candied oranges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
