Typically fruits with thicker peels make the best options for candying, as thinner skinned fruits like clementines can sometimes become tough after boiling. And if possible, start with organic or locally grown citrus, as fruits that have been sprayed with chemicals can have an unpleasant residual taste. This is a great way to turn the peel of juiced clementine halves into a delicacy. Candied Clementine Peels I love these little gems! moonlightfreaq.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook candied clementine peels using 4 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Candied Clementine Peels:
  1. Prepare 10 Organic Clementines (approx., you may use less or more there is plenty of syrup to add up to 5 more clementines just don't half the syrup)
  2. Take 3 cup Sugar
  3. Get 2 cup Water
  4. Get 1 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice

You can also zest them to use in cocktails and as a flavor enhancer for baked goods and vinaigrettes. Clementine peels are most commonly used in oil production and to make candied peels, but there is no reason that you cannot eat them together with the inner flesh of the fruit. Clementines are characterized as having a thin and easy to remove peel compared to other citrus fruits and are widely available throughout the winter months. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Steps to make Candied Clementine Peels:
  1. Peel the clementines so that it mainly comes off in one piece. The pith on the clementines should be minimal so you shouldn't have to remove any, however if you have lots of pith, remove most of it with a sharp knife. There should only be a small layer.
  2. Place the peels in a medium sauce pan with cool water and bring to a good boil for 2 mins.
  3. Take the pot off the stove and transfer the peels to an ice water bath. Leave in the water for about 5 to 10 mins.
  4. Place peels back in pot with fresh cool water and bring back to a good boil for another 2 mins. Repeat this process of boiling and cooling for at least a total of total of 4 times. If you want a really weak flavour then boil more than 4 times. I reconmend 4 or 5 times as that gives the same flavour that we are use to of clementines normally.
  5. Cut peels into strips or chunks that you may desire. Just keep in mind the size of your cooling rack so that they don't fall off when drying and also that too large of a piece may not be desired for all.
  6. On your final cooling, place 3 cups of sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Lemon juice and 2 cups of water in the pot over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat but keep it so that its just to a boil. Boil until thickened.
  7. Place peels into syrup and gently boil on the reduced heat until the peels become almost see through. This may take 45 mins to an hour. Take off the heat and let cool on its own.
  8. Once cooled gently "squeegy" the strip without tearing it and place each strip on a cooling rack. Let dry for 24- 48 hrs.
  9. Once the strips are just tacky, dip them into granulated sugar fully.
  10. Enjoy!! It's a long process but well worth it. I keep mine in the refrigerator (they are also great in the freezer) and separate the layers in the container with parchment paper.

Clementines are characterized as having a thin and easy to remove peel compared to other citrus fruits and are widely available throughout the winter months.
