Candied Peels

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005
Recipe : Candied Peels
Procedure :

6 Navel oranges

1 3/4 c Sugar

1/2 c Clear corn syrup

1 1/2 c Water

3 oz Orange gelatin

Cut oranges in half lengthwise & remove fruit. Cut peels into strips. Cook peels in 8 C. boiling water for 15 min. Drain & repeat. In same pot, cook sugar, syrup, & 1-1/2 C. water over high heat until sugar is dissolved. Add gelatin & peels & simmer for 20 min. Remove from heat. On a sheet of waxed paper or microwave paper, sprinkle 1 C. granulated sugar. Lightly roll the peels in the sugar, a few at a time, until the peel is evenly coated. Add sugar as needed as supply is used. Place in one layer to dry overnight. Store in airtight containers. Will keep indefinately, if kept dry. Lemon or Lime peels may be used with the corresponding gelatin, but I’ve never tried it. For slightly less sweet peels, delete the corn syrup & increase sugar to 3 cups. *Kieran*

1 tb Unflavored gelatin

2 tb Water — cold

1 tb Lemon juice

1 c Unsweetened frozen raspberri

- pureed 1 t Lemon rind, or orange rind

2 tb Frozen apple juice concentr

2 c Plain lowfat yogurt

2 Egg whites

Vary the fruit juice and fruit puree combinations to develop your own creative desserts according to the seasons. It takes almost two cups of fruit to make one cup of puree. Bananas can be mashed with a fork; other fruits do better in a blender or a Soften gelatin in cold water for 2-3 minutes. Combine gelatin, lemon juice, fruit puree, grated rind or seasoning, fruit juice concentrate and yogurt and mix thoroughly. Freeze until crystals begin to form around the edges. Beat egg whites until stiff. Break up the yogurt mix with a spoon and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in beaten egg whites. Freeze until firm. About 30 minutes before serving, remove from freezer to refrigerator to allow dessert to soften. Scoop into stemmed dessert dishes for a festive presentation. Note: If desired, use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, cinnamon or cardamom in place of lemon or orange rind. Honey may be used in place of the juice concentrate.
