Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm clementines with deep orange skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a sharp knife to score the clementines. This will help the syrup penetrate the fruit and create a more flavorful preserve.
- Simmer the clementines in the syrup for at least 30 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the syrup has thickened. The longer you simmer the fruit, the more flavorful the preserve will be.
- Store the clementine preserve in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the preserve for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Clementines in cinnamon syrup is a delicious and easy-to-make preserve that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream. It's also a great way to use up any leftover clementines. So next time you find yourself with a few extra clementines, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
