Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for this recipe. If you can, try to use organic oranges to avoid any added pesticides or chemicals.
- Zest the oranges before juicing: Zesting the oranges before juicing helps to release the essential oils and flavors of the orange peel. This will give your orange bowknots a more intense orange flavor.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to cut the orange peel into thin, even strips. This will make it easier to tie the bowknots.
- Don't overcook the orange bowknots: Overcooking the orange bowknots will make them tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are tender and slightly translucent.
- Serve the orange bowknots warm: Orange bowknots are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed at their peak flavor. You can also serve them at room temperature or chilled, if desired.
